Indian PM Narendra Modi faces an embarrassing blow

MUMBAI – Indian media has termed the United Nations (UN) visit of PrimeMinister (PM) Narendra Modi as biggest failure.The Indian media has stated that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is fullycelebrating the tour despite not having secured the much-touted trade dealwith the US. Also, the issue of Kashmir became further complicated betweenhim and US President Donald Trump.

According to the article published by Indian newspapers *The Print*link,Modi scored clear nil in the most contentious issue of trade during hisweeklong trip to America.

Trade has undoubtedly become an unavoidable stumbling block in therelationship, even as both sides continue to fiercely fight out tradedisputes at the World Trade Organization (WTO).

India was left high and dry as none of the American multinationals that metModi yet committed to any big-ticket investment.

“On the issue of Kashmir, too, Prime Minister Modi could not extract muchfrom his “friend” Trump.

While Trump continued the rhetoric of mediating the Kashmir issue betweenNew Delhi and Islamabad unabashedly, the US also demanded “rapid action” ineasing restrictions in Jammu Kashmir, and urged India to hold elections atthe earliest opportunity.”
