"The prime minister does not understand the gravity and seriousness of diplomacy, and he has tried to use every event as a photo-op opportunity," Sharma added.

 

"The opposition will seek answers from the prime minister on these issues. He will not be allowed to hide his failures," said Sharma, deputy leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha.

"We are not against talks with Pakistan but there is need for more clarity on the government's stand as two terrorist attacks have happened in the country since the prime minister's meeting with (Pakistan Prime Minister) Nawaz Sharif in Ufa (Russia) - first at Udhampur and then Gurdaspur."
