India is mum on whether US has sought Yadav’s extradition. Officials say that Yadav is now no longer a govt employee. A federal warrant of arrest against him was issued by FBI on 10 October.
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan admitted to two undercover agents that he planned to target a Jewish centre in Brooklyn, New York, on 7 Oct to mark one year since Hamas attack on Israel.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
This is the difference between Russia and the USA. Had Pannun been residing in Russia, a phone call from Jaishankar would have sufficed to extradite him to India. Putin would have put him on the very next flight to Delhi.
The US, however, has always refused to cooperate with Indian agencies. David Headley is the best example of this. The US flatly refused to extradite Headley to India despite his involvement in the Mumbai terror attack.
Instances like these serve to remind us Indians who is actually a friend of ours.
The US must no longer be considered a friend by the Indian establishment. The US-India relationship henceforth should be one of shared interests and not one of friendship.
As long as our interests and goals are aligned, we will work together. Eventually, when our interests/goals are no longer in sync, we would walk our separate paths.
Pakistan is the perfect example of what “friendship” with the US can reduce a nation to.
This case must open the eyes of India’s security and military establishment.
The US is NOT an ally. It never was.
The US is just an opportunistic “friend” whose perennial pre-occupation is to contain it’s rivals (China, Russia, etc.) and in pursuit of which it is willing to use and abuse any other nation.
The warming up of India-USA relations since the early 2000s has very less to do with shared values or being fellow democracies. It’s just that the Sino-Russian threat had acquired a dimension big enough to worry the US. And in many ways it forced the US to seek closer ties with India.
One may blame Pandit Nehru for many things but he was correct in his assessment of the Americans- the reason why he was cold all through to American overtures and ruled out signing any pacts/treaties with them.
Pakistan fell for the US trap and now serves as an example of what happens to a nation when the US is done with it.
