Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar (NCP-SP) president Sharad Pawar on Friday stated that India is losing its neutral stance in global matters, especially with Gulf countries, due to recent decisions taken by the central government, reported ANI.

He also criticised the way US President Donald Trump claimed credit for certain international developments without having proper authority, saying this has upset many countries, including those in Europe and the Gulf.

Speaking at the press conference, Sharad Pawar said, "The plain and simple fact is that in the recent developments, certain decisions were made, and then US President Donald Trump came forward and made announcements about them even though he had no authority to do so. Despite that, he claimed credit for the developments, without disclosing with whom the discussions were held. That kind of statement is disturbing," reported ANI.
