the country.
Pakistan has reacted sharply, calling the remarks provocative. The two countries share a tense relationship and have fought three wars since they became independent nations in 1947.
Pakistan condemns Indian remarks:
Ayaz Gul reporting for the Voice of America on 6 April 2024, says that Pakistan recently denounced Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s “provocative remarks” threatening to enter Pakistan and kill suspects who escape over its border after carrying out terrorist attacks in India.
Ayaz Gul quoting a sharp comment from Pakistan's foreign ministry says on Indian Minister Sing’s comment, "India's assertion of its preparedness
to extra-judicially execute more civilians, arbitrarily pronounced as ‘terrorists,' inside Pakistan constitutes a clear admission of culpability'".
"India's assertion of its preparedness to extrajudicially execute more civilians, arbitrarily pronounced as ‘terrorists,' inside Pakistan constitutes a clear admission of culpability," said a Pakistani foreign ministry statement. Perhaps it speaks all which needs no more explanations.
Nepal, the satellite servant of India perhaps even doesn’t know of the incident as it doesn’t want to listen even to news against India by presumably “the India bent foreign ministry officials” (not all though…)
Retired. Lt. Gen. Bhopinder Singh writing an opinion for The Quint, on April 11, 2024, says that
“domestic politics have a direct and immediate bearing on external perceptions. Winning domestic politics doesn’t necessarily lead to winning perceptions internationally”. It is an unavoidable relation and reaction given the global highway of interconnectivity. “Therefore the recent calls of concern on the state of our democracy by the US, Germany, and even the United Nations are only natural outpourings”.
The writing is on the walls and India must understand closely what could be in store for her (India).
The former military man Bhopinder then brings in the case (issue) of the occasional hiccups Nepal and India disturbed relations.
Bhopinder displeasure appears to mercy upon records his thus and have no his own
government.
He says then, “But the consequences of the tenor, optics, and insistences of Indian politics are most sensitively imagined and reacted to in its contiguous neighborhood, given its overarching size and impact. If it gets perceived to be overbearing or intimidating, then it gives rise to what they call on the Nepali streets as the ‘Big Brother’ syndrome. It’s not a healthy phenomenon to linger on, as it can germinate a sharp and vocal ‘antiIndia’ constituency.
As I see it, Bhopinder Singh has said as much as he could in his article suggesting his government opt for “course correction” on India’s un-even relations with neighboring countries.
He presumes that India’s words and deeds differ in its relations with neighbors from what comes into practice as
such. Many South Asians too think how military men think of India. But when will India listen to its own intellectuals? A bully India can’t be the leader of South Asia. Similarly, an armtwisted India can’t even think of becoming a regional power with voluntary recognition. To be recognized as a regional power, India has to observe from within and find for itself as to which serious lacunae will not allow it to win the hearts of its own people, first, and then those of the South Asians in the immediate neighborhood. India must not forget that the more it hurts and irritates the neighbors, the more aggrieved will voluntarily inch closer to China. That’s all.
