All PM Modi needs to do is pick up the phone and call India’s good friend, Amrullah Saleh, injured in Sunday's terror attack in Kabul, to ask what else India can do for Afghanistan.
Officials in India and Pakistan are drawing up an agenda for a return to dialogue. And it seems the powerful Pakistani establishment is onboard for now.
India’s defence sector is trying to penetrate the African market. But with China already extending significant influence, India must now play catch-up.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
Dear Sir
With due respect for all your experience and sensibility behind this article…
If INDIA publicly gives importance to SALEH, It would be like putting a target on his back for no reason.
Right now his existence is a threat to Taliban (Pak supported),
but his extra importance for INDIA will give them an extra incentive to kill him.
I think it was wise of MEA for what and how they responded.
Jyoti seems to have no understanding of the India’s position on Afghanistan. Our role is essentially limited to humanitarian activities and any other role would not suit us. USA will do everything in its interest as also Russia, unmindful of whether it helps or hurts India. So we have to mostly watch the evolving situation and hope for the best. Indeed, if Taliban takes over the country after USA is out of it, India is likely to have much bigger problems in Kashmir. But we will have to deal with that. India on its own cannot save Ghani government by military means. Hope Jyoti gets this and never writes again on Afghanistan and use it as one more occasion to attack Modi.
Read the first sentence of the column. No wonder some Print readers – like the two posters above – are so fond of the columnist … 2. It is for Dr Jaishankar – first as FS now as EAM – to bring the full weight of his erudition and experience to bear on India’s Af – Pak policy. To make a persuasive case to the government that various domestic and political skeins that have got interwoven need to be consciously unentangled. So much diplomatic capital expended on seeking to isolate Pakistan, and see how everyone is doing business with it. It is to the credit of the senior folk who have dealt with these issues for a decade that they never seek to make a political issue out of various missteps in foreign policy.
print is congress media so always talk against MOdi or BJP as print blood is infected with congress DNA ,,, these fake print always print fake against India for remain in lime light ,,,such print should be penalized should be bann in India,,, these should not be allowed to put there own agenda defaming India who is raising internationally
Again a familiar and failed technique by the author.
-Pick any event and view it with shortsightedness which seems outwardly/supposedly against the interests of India.
-Drag Modi into it and make him or his government policies responsible. Give a long lecture on what is missing.
-Then forget it and wait for next event to unfold and repeat the usual trope.
The only consistency observed in them is Modi-bashing without any sort of real substance.
Atleast I admire Rahul Gandhi here. He only tweets a short and sweet message 🙂 and then retires to a foreign location!!
Correct brother!
Hate Modi, Hate BJP, nitpicking everything Modi and if we point his out ridicule us we are “Bhakts”.
Standard Modus Operandi of Sicularists.
Shekar Gupta is at least as not obsessed and hateful towards Modi as Jyoti Malhotra is.

We have a new and experienced Foreign Minister in Jaishankar now. He must frame and execute policies after consultations with the PM.

This is the most pro Pakistan and anti Indian and traitorous website that I have seen. Shame on Shekhar Gupta and his disloyalty to the Indian nation
