'Modi Not My Aunt's Son': Pak MP Sher Afzal Marwat Exposes Fear Of Indian Retaliation
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MP Sher Afzal Marwat has sparked controversy by admitting he would flee to England in case of a war with India, instead of fighting on the frontline. In an interaction with a journalist, Marwat dismissed any sense of patriotic duty, sarcastically responding, 'Modi is not my aunt's son that he'll step back because I say so.' The comments highlight growing anxiety and low confidence among Pakistan's political elite regarding their nation's ability to withstand a full-scale war with India.#sherafzalmarwat #india #pakistan #pahalgamattack #pmmodi #shehbazsharif #indianarmy #pakistanarmy #lineofcontrol #pti

Erasing the hyphen between India and Pakistan
The events of the year 2000 resonate vividly in my memory. Back then, I was serving as the deputy chief of mission at the Indian embassy in Brussels, a city known for its rich political history and culinary delights. It was in a charming, homely restaurant that our ambassador Chandrasekhar Dasgupta—one of the most astute diplomats India has ever produced—hosted a lunch for several members of the European Parliament. Needing to discuss the Kashmir issue with them, he was understandably nervous, pacing back and forth in the reserved room, carefully contemplating his words. When the guests arrived, we first enjoyed a delightful lunch. But the real treat came when the ambassador took the floor. With remarkable eloquence, he spent approximately 30 minutes elucidating the Kashmir issue and India's perspective on Pakistan. As a newly-minted diplomat, one particular element of his speech struck me profoundly: his impassioned plea to the audience not to think of India and Pakistan as two sides of the same coin. For years, international dignitaries visiting India would also make a point of visiting Pakistan, seemingly to maintain diplomatic balance. 'Do not hyphenate India and Pakistan,' he declared. 'If you want to come to India, you are most welcome. If you want to go to Pakistan, go to that country. But, for heaven's sake, don't consider that because you come to India, you are obligated to go to that country.' Fast forward to the present, and I find myself reflecting on whether there has been a significant shift in India's foreign policy—much like the 'changes' seen in other areas of governance. We criticised Nehru's protectionist policies, yet we now embrace the idea of 'atmanirbharta' (self-reliance) while navigating the complex South Asian landscape. While we once sought dominance in the region, we appear to have ceded some ground to China.

Netanyahu dials PM Modi; India calls for early peace, stability
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been briefed by his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu on the evolving situation as tensions escalate in West Asia following devastating strikes by Israel that targeted the top Iranian military leadership and crippled nuclear sites across the country. The two leaders spoke after Netanyahu dialled India following the strikes that have sparked off worries about a prolonged conflict in the region. "He briefed me on the evolving situation. I shared India's concerns and emphasised the need for early restoration of peace and stability in the region," PM Modi posted on X after the call. India has expressed deep concern over the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel and has offered all possible support, urging the two nations to use dialogue and diplomacy to work towards de-escalation. It also abstained from a vote on a UNGA resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo In a statement issued hours after a series of Israeli strikes on key locations in Iran, Indian external affairs ministry said that it was closely monitoring the evolving situation. "India urges both sides to avoid any escalatory steps. Existing channels of dialogue and diplomacy should be utilised to work towards a de-escalation of the situation and resolving underlying issues," MEA statement read, adding that India has close and friendly relations with both the countries.

India also chose to abstain from voting in a United Nations General Assembly resolution that demanded an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution was adopted after 149 votes were counted in its favour, with 19 abstentions and 12 nations voting against it. India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said New Delhi is deeply concerned at the deepening humanitarian crisis and condemns the loss of civilians but has earlier taken the same stand on resolutions on the Israel-Palestine issue. "Our vote today is in continuation of this in the belief that there is no other way to resolve conflicts but through dialogue and diplomacy. A joint effort should be directed towards bringing the two sides closer. For these reasons, we would abstain on this resolution," he said. The diplomat added that India has repeatedly called for the protection of civilians, upholding of humanitarian obligations and for the safe, sustained and timely supply of humanitarian assistance to Gaza.
