Mani Shankar Aiyar slams PM Narendra Modi for meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping, says he has two faced policy

Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar on Saturday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping during his G20 visit to Hamburg, Germany. Aiyar said that if Modi can meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and even the Naga leaders, why is he having a reservation in meeting with Maoists in Bastar. “If PM is ready to meet Chinese Pres Xi Jinping & Naga leaders, why doesn’t he talk to Geelani in J&K and Maoists in Bastar?” Mani Shankar Aiyar said. He further added, “Why does PM Modi have such a two-faced policy.” However, contrary to Aiyar’s stance, another senior Congress leader, Saifuddin Soz on Friday said he feels that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants a solution to the Kashmir issue irrespective of his background and RSS connections. “I personally think, Hurriyat should be kept in the loop at the time of talks.
