New Delhi, July 15 (UNI) Attacking the Narendra Modi government on reports of Iran removing India from the Chabahar Rail project, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said India’s global strategy is in tatters and it is losing power and respect everywhere.
'India’s global strategy is in tatters. We are losing power and respect everywhere and GOI has no idea what to do,' Rahul tweeted.
Rahul posted on his Twitter account a report which said that Iran has dropped India from the Chabahar Rail project, citing funding delay.
India and Iran had signed an agreement four years ago to construct a rail line from Chabahar port to Zahedan, along the border with Afghanistan.
Reports said that the Iranian government has decided to proceed with the construction on its own, citing delays from the Indian side in funding and starting the project.
