At this event, he said, “Cumulative effect of a series of actions, including what happened in Kashmir. We seem to know we are isolated. External Affairs Minister ducked a meeting with US legislators.”

Mr. Menon has said about India’s future that he fears India will be isolated, “Global public opinion on India has shifted if you see the international press. It’s a self-inflicted goal.”
