Not really cards for #India to play but relationships to cherish and nurture.

Should be part of India's strategic fold. Now & for ever.

#China is no friend of ours. Stronger strategic alliances with like minded countries is the best road ahead.

Caught an interesting discussion online on some Pak network on #IPL.
1. Pak players missing the excitement & MONEY
2. Pak players & fans missing the excitement.
3. One commentator said each #IPL player makes more money than entire Pak T 20 team.
4. Pak's two T20 leagues a failure
5. Pak players want to play & want Im The Dim to initiate dialogue with India.
6. Discussion also noted PM @narendramodi different & will not accept Pak on earlier terms.
7. Pak still unwilling to abandon path of support to radical Islamist terror represented by HafizSaeed & Co.
8. Pak commentators concede being out of cricket is a big loss to Pak cricket both in terms of finances, glory & as important experience.
9. Pak out of Bollywood & music is also a major loss for Pak
10. As long as Pak people remain subservient to Pak Mil Jihad complex: their loss

Human Rights cannot be an excuse to defy law of the land: Govt's official response on #AmnestyIndia 's bogey of a 'witchhunt.' Govt puts out certain facts in public domain. Govt spokesperson says: Amnesty International denied #FCRA approval by 'SUCCESSIVE GOVTS' since 2000 1/n
Govt: Amnesty UK tried to circumvent #FCRA regulations Amnesty UK remitted large amounts of money to four entities registered in India by classifying it as FDI.Significant amount of money remitted to Amnesty India without MHA approval under FCRA. Govt: malafide rerouting of money
Govt: Owing to illegal practices of #AmnestyIndia PREVIOUS GOVTS had also rejected repeated applications of Amnesty to receive funds from overseas. #Amnesty had suspended its India operations once during that period as well. BIPARTISAN & PURELY LEGAL approach by Govt, then & now.

China has built almost 400 internment camps in Xinjiang for Uighur muslims. In Xinjiang Muslims made to eat pork. Across China Muslims made to remove Mohammed from their name. Can't read their holy book. Yet a prominent Kashmiri leader claims Kashmiris would prefer the Chinese?
And that too at a time when the enemy is at the gates. What does this then say about those people who 'prefer the Chinese'?
Neither loyal to their religion nor to their country?
Lack honour & self respect?
Cut their nose to spite their face?
Cannot be trusted in difficult times?
And why is focus on one religion majority state in a secular democracy?
Why should it matter if a state is Muslim majority in a secular country?
Have seen several so called 'liberal intellectuals' harp on J&K being muslim majority in context of Article 370/35A. Should it matter?

Chinese aggression large deployment & attempt to unilaterally change status quo unacceptable. Determined to protect India's integrity. 10 sept EAM dialogue in Moscow. Complete disengagement if China serious & sincere. Long stand off in the past sorted amicably.Situation different

Raksha Mantri @rajnathsingh in Parliament: I have seen unparalled valour of our forces in #Ladakh. India China boundary issue unresolved. China doesn't agree to alignment. 1950 decade could not agree to alignment. China 38,000 sqkm in illegal occupation. 90000 sqkm china claims.
Peace & tranquility at LAC post 1988 relationship developed. 1993, 1996 agreement: keep less troops at LAC. Common understanding. 1990 2003 effort made but then China stopped. Overlap in perception at some places at LAC. Elaborate & time tested intelligence gathering mechanism:RM
April 2020 increase in chinese troop strength. May 2020 china interdiction of Galwan patrolling. Goghra & Pangongtso & KongkaLa. Indian forces timely response action. Both commanders met on June 6 2020 for disengagement process. Believe in LAC & no change in LAC. But June 15...

Deceit During Dialogue: long history of Chinese Double cross: Chumar, Demchok, Depsang incursions timed to clash with India China dialogue both during UPA & NDA regime. But has India beaten China in its own game? Will Gen Wei Fenghe seeking meeting with @rajnathsingh be different Image
Ahead of Lei Keqiang's visit to India in May 2013 Chinese troops intruded into Depsang in April 2013 for over three weeks. There was another incursion in June at Chumar before AK Antony's visit to China. Oct 2013 Manmohan Singh signed Border Defence Agreement yet incursion in Dec
In September 2014 @PMOIndia invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to Ahmedabad. As they talked on the banks of the Sabarmati river & the Chinese President's wife sang songs, Chinese troops intruded into Chumar. In July there was an incursion into Demchok as the two met in Brazil.
