Foreign policy stance

Published September 3, 2015

THE recent border violations show our inability to get the international community to get India under pressure to stop such atrocious acts of terrorism on the civilian settlements situated right at the working boundary. Initial media response by our foreign office may seem somewhat reasonable but there is not much to hear from the political front.

Although the prime minister has too much to take care of , this might be the right time for the PM to delegate the office of foreign ministry to an eligible and credible man so that we can make the world hear our narrative loud and clear and let them see how far India, the ally of the West, has gone in pursuing its dream of dominating South Asia, both, economically and strategically.
