Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, daughter trolled over ceasefire; forced to lock X account
Misri, a 1989 Indian Foreign Service officer who served in crucial roles in the past, assumed office as the Foreign Secretary in July 2024. He caught the nation's attention when he led the media briefing on May 7 after `Operation Sindoor' that was beamed live on social media platforms.
The officer repeatedly addressed the media later and again on Saturday (May 10) confirming the ceasefire between the two nations and its violation by Pakistan. The co-ordinated trolling began after that.
Countless netizens who were openly calling for a major retaliation against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack were disappointed with the ceasefire agreement and vented their ire on him and his daughter Didon.
Misri was called derogatory words like 'Gaddar', 'Deshdrohi' as well as 'shameless man and family.'
Didon, a law student, had worked for the cause of Rohingya refugees. Misri had showcased his daughter to the world online a decade ago by sharing a family pic and billing her as 'my greatest achievement in life so far.' Among the trolls was JayRNair, who posted, 'What is most shocking is when you realise what his daughter does. She gave legal assistance to Rohingyas, now in London.'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Cyprus sends a message to Turkey
By John Solomou Nicosia [Cyprus], June 15 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus on Sunday, the first by an Indian Prime Minister in 23 years, is being viewed in Nicosia as a diplomatic signal to Turkey, which has occupied one-third of the island since 1974 and had backed Pakistan during Operation Sindoor last month. PM Modi is visiting Cyprus at the invitation of President Nicos Christodoulides and will be accompanied by a large delegation of around 100 officials. Despite historical ties between the two countries, visits by Indian Prime Ministers have been rare. Only two such visits to Cyprus have taken place in the past 40 years, by Indira Gandhi in 1982 and Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2002. His stop in Cyprus is part of a three-nation tour that includes Canada for the G-7 Summit and the first-ever visit to Croatia by an Indian Prime Minister. Diplomatic sources say the visit is aimed at sending a message to Ankara, which has angered New Delhi with its support to Pakistan during the recent conflict and statements on Kashmir. India has expressed concerns over Turkey's position and actions, which led to a public backlash and boycott of Turkish goods in India. Cyprus, in contrast, has backed India on the issue of terrorism. After the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Cyprus condemned the act and said it would raise the issue of cross-border terrorism by Pakistan at the European Union level. Cyprus forms part of the energy corridor that will connect India with Europe and strengthen East-West connectivity through the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC). President Christodoulides referenced this during his early May trip to Israel. IMEC, an international infrastructure initiative aimed at creating a connectivity corridor between India, the Middle East and Europe, represents a US-led initiative. PM Modi's visit is seen as quite significant from political and commercial perspectives. The visit will serve as a timely revival of high-level contacts, as Cyprus is set to assume the European Union Council Presidency in the first half of 2026. India has consistently supported a solution to the Cyprus problem according to the UN Security Council resolutions and international law, while Turkey seeks the recognition of the so-called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which it has illegally established on the northern part of the island, occupied by the Turkish Army. For its part, Cyprus is a fervent supporter of India's campaign for a permanent seat at the Security Council as well as its membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the International Atomic Energy Agency. PM Modi's visit to Cyprus comes at a time when economic and business relations between Cyprus and India are undergoing a period of continuous upgrading and rapid development, in a way that is beneficial for the two state entities, but also for their business communities, as new investment opportunities and prospects are created on both sides. One of the biggest banks in Cyprus, Eurobank, has recently announced that it is opening a representative office in Mumbai to help make Cyprus a gateway for Indian businesses entering the European Union and promote the interconnection of capital and businesses between Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. It should be noted that PM Modi and President Christodoulides will visit the southern port of Limassol on Sunday. There, they will attend a round-table discussion with businessmen from both sides aimed at further boosting trade relations and cooperation between Indian and Cypriot businesses. On Monday, PM Modi will be officially welcomed at the Presidential Palace and will then have a private meeting with President Christodoulides, who will award him the Grand Cross of the Order of Makarios III - the highest honour in the Republic of Cyprus. This will be followed by extensive talks between the delegations of the two countries, after which the two leaders will make statements to the media. During the talks, the two delegations will discuss, among other things, issues relating to bilateral relations and ways to further strengthen them, particularly in the areas of economy, trade, infrastructure and investment, EU-India relations, and issues relating to the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). The situation in the Middle East and South Asia, and the latest developments in Cyprus, will also be discussed. (ANI)

Pakistan's new game to regain strategic depth
Lt General KJ Singh superannuated in August 2016 after 39 years of distinguished service. He commanded the formidable Western Command, an operationally committed Corps in the North East having borders with four countries, an armoured division in the strike corps, a T-90 armoured brigade, and an elite armoured regiment, 63 Cavalry. He is currently holding the prestigious Ranjit Singh Chair of Excellence in the Panjab University, Chandigarh. LESS ... MORE Targets degraded by India during Operation Sindoor unmistakably highlighted Pakistan's vulnerability in terms of lack of geographical and strategic depth. At its broadest, the country is merely 450km in width, in addition to active insurgencies in its largest provinces, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Hence, options for secure basing and defensive deployment are severely constrained. Yet, it has always displayed significant measure of resilience to retain relevance in the traditional arena of the great geo-strategic game, defined by confluence of conflicting civilizations — Islamic (Arabic, Persian and Turkic), Sinic, Slavic and Indian. Pak: Balancing expert As early as 1963, Pakistan gifted Shaksgam Valley to China and secured for itself an 'iron brother' relationship. In the Nixon-Kissinger era, it midwifed the courting of China by the US, which despite proving disastrous, still gives Pakistan, adequate balancing leverage in the US-China powerplay. It is indeed baffling to rationalise courting of Pakistan by both. US has thanked Pakistan for facilitating apprehension of Mohammed Sharifullah, the mastermind of Abbey Gate (Kabul Airport) suicidal attack on Aug 26, 2021, leading to death of 13 marines. This ISI ploy has been cashed many times, like how Pakistan vectored targeting of Al-Zawahiri in Kabul safehouse, on July 31, 2022. Field Marshal Asim Munir has been reportedly invited to US Army's 250th anniversary parade. US Army central command commander Gen Michael E Kurilla, while briefing Armed Services Committee, reportedly hailed Pakistan as a phenomenal partner in the fight against terror. It is indeed amazing to witness continued, sinister manipulation by Pindi (Rawalpindi) generals and incredulous naivety of US top brass. China, in Operation Sindoor, staked her reputation and standing in the arms market by providing Pakistan with platforms and munitions and seamless interoperability. It extended access to Beidou and other surveillance systems. The Chinese foreign minister orchestrated rapprochement between Pakistan and Taliban by roping in Afghanistan in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). It has the ominous portents of Taliban taking on the role of protectors and guarantors of CPEC. Security has been the corridor's Achilles' heel, despite Pakistan raising two light divisions, expanding the Frontier Constabulary and maritime security. Mujahideen, who were once envisioned as pipeline police for Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) energy grid, may not be averse to becoming highway militia for CPEC. It would also reduce freedom of manoeuvre for Baloch and Pashtun insurgent groups. It could also revive Pakistan's long-term strategy of seeking strategic geographic depth in its western backyard. Taliban will earn protection money as 'bakhsheesh' (bribe), even as shifting loyalties are rampant in the region. The quieter Durand Line and Iran border could enable Pakistan to turn its focus and mischief potential eastward. The US may even want to use Pakistan to check Iran. Strategic depth: The dimensions Pakistan's quest for strategic depth, often dismissed as floundering, merits a more nuanced consideration. Analysis cannot be driven by anger and moralistic considerations. PM Zulifkar Ali Bhutto and General Zia-ul-Haq can be described as two critical catalysts in Pakistan's endeavours. Bhutto steered the Islamic bomb, which is projected as a collective security for 'Ummah' (Islamic brotherhood). Iran's foray for a separate 'Shia' bomb, now degraded with Israeli attacks, could have further reduced the salience of the much-touted Pak capability. While it is right to infer that India has reinforced space below the nuclear threshold, but a misguided and unsubstantiated narrative around Kirana Hill could well build sympathy for Pakistan in the Islamic block. It is imperative that this narrative is controlled, and India continues to be respected as a responsible nuclear power. Pakistan will certainly try and cobble at least a scaled-down version of a ballistic missile shield. It may resort to deeper and hardened tunnelling for basing and even for infiltration across LoC. No defence line or shield is impregnable, yet it will certainly pose more stringent challenges in the next round. China now has access to large amounts of data gathered in Operation Sindoor, which could be weaponised against us. Armies world over are committed to territorial frontiers and safeguarding them, but Gen Zia added 'ideological frontiers' as an additional commitment. The old motto 'Ittehad, Yaqeen, Tanzeem' (unity, faith, discipline) was jettisoned for 'Iman, Taqwa, Jihadfi-Sablillah' (faith, piety, struggle in the name of Allah). The Quranic concept of war became the new doctrine. The treatise is being misused to build a false notion of victory.

The Quranic concept of war became the new doctrine. The treatise is being misused to build a false notion of victory. In this conception, resilience and commitment to fight the next round defines victory. We have witnessed that Pakistan celebrated the 1965 aggression as Youm-e-Difa (day of defence), even when reactionary India had an upper hand. Pakistan also doesn't accept its defeat in the 1971 war, despite a humiliating defeat. India will have to be prepared to deal with terror. Pakistan, afflicted with a 'parity syndrome', utilised external balancing by joining the Central Treaty Organisation (Cento) and signing the Baghdad Pact in 1950s. Unlike India, it has perfected the art of being a useful lackey on demand. Today, besides China, it has forged a strategic Islamic alliance with Turkiye, Azerbaijan and Qatar. The drift towards Ankara was anchored by Imran Khan, even when India was steering Saudi Arabia and Gulf nations towards a more balanced posture. It is known that the economy in Pakistan is on ventilator, yet it has managed to establish a reasonable defence manufacturing eco-system. Pakistan is leveraging Chinese technology for producing tanks, aircraft and missiles. It has even supplied artillery shells to Ukraine. There are already reports of projected collaboration in mining rare earths and strategic minerals in Balochistan. In sum, while we prepare for the next round of conflict, it will be pertinent to go beyond the geographical depth and give the devil its due, like they say — forewarned is forearmed.
