Bharatiya Janata Party veteran and former external affairs minister Yashwant Sinha on Sunday criticised the Modi government's Pakistan policy and said that it has been misguided 'by some people on entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group'.

"With great sadness, I would like to say that our government's Pakistan policy has completely failed," Sinha, who has been critical of the Modi government on several occasions in the past, said.

He also advised the government not to seek the NSG membership.

"I would like to say strongly that India must not accept NSG membership, there is no need to go there as an applicant," he said.

"The Indian government is being regularly misguided by some people sitting in the Centre on entry into NSG," Sinha added.

Asserting that he has always been ignored by the government, Sinha said, For the government, I am under the category of brain-dead as I do not even have the status to give an opinion. But I have continuously opposed the governments policy towards Pakistan.
