New Delhi, May 23 -- Congress MP Rajeev Shukla on Saturday said India should maintain a neutral foreign policy and avoid getting entangled in global conflicts.

Speaking on Rubio's visit amid the ongoing tensions in the Gulf region, the Congress MP said the purpose behind the sudden trip was unclear.

"Even we cannot understand the sudden visit of Rubio. I feel he has perhaps come seeking India's help amid the ongoing Gulf War and strategy," Shukla said.

Calling for a reassessment of India's diplomatic approach, he further said, "I think we can still correct our foreign policy. We should adopt a neutral foreign policy and have good relations with all countries. We will only harm ourselves by getting entangled in such things."
