Facing successive diplomatic setbacks, Modi desperate to sit in China’s lap
Islamabad: The world’s attention is currently focused on the Chinese city of Tianjin, where the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit is being held.
According to Kashmir Media Service, about a dozen leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, are participating in the meeting. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, facing successive diplomatic setbacks, has also reached Tianjin to attend the conference.
The media in India is presenting Modi’s visit as a diplomatic victory regardless of the facts. Along with electronic media, this propaganda is being vigorously propagated on social media that Modi is being given more importance in China and is being welcomed in a unique way.
This visit of the Indian Prime Minister to China is taking place after seven years. He had previously visited China in 2018. Although the media is calling Narendra Modi’s visit a major diplomatic victory, some realistic comments are also being made in India itself regarding the visit.
The biased Modi media is also being shown a mirror. An Indian citizen posted two pictures of Prime Minister Modi being welcomed at the airport and Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif being welcomed and wrote, “Modi was also welcomed in China in the same way as the Prime Minister of Pakistan.”
On the other hand, a BJP-backed social media account claimed with fake pictures that Prime Minister Modi was welcomed in China by drones, but Indian journalist Aditya immediately exposed this lie and proved that these pictures were actually of a show in Chongqing, China on April 19. An Indian citizen wrote, “China killed our soldiers in Galwan, China supported Pakistan in Operation Sindoor, on the other hand, Bhagat and Modi’s fans feel proud only because Modi was welcomed on the red carpet in China.”
The Indian people are saying that Modi has compromised on the bodies of 20 soldiers who died in a clash between Chinese and Indian soldiers in 2020. Earlier, there was extreme tension between the Modi government and China, to the point that India had even cancelled its flights to China while also banning many Chinese platforms including TikTok.
Indian journalist and lecturer Sushant Singh wrote in his article ‘Strategic Surrender’, “If you look at it with solid evidence, the Modi government’s attempt to normalize bilateral relations with China is a sign of weakness, all this is happening on Beijing’s terms.”
On the one hand, India is facing diplomatic failures in many places around the world. The failure of Operation Sindoor and the resounding success of Pakistan’s Operation Bunyanul Marsoos have disgraced Modi all over the world. The Indian government, reeling from defeat, and setbacks, seems eager to sit in China’s lap.
However, it is worth considering that if it is so eager to be friends with Beijing, why is it deploying Akash missiles on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China? India also hosts the Dalai Lama and has sheltered him, whom China considers a separatist threat.
The Modi government had also accused China without evidence that it helped Pakistan in the May war.
In fact, Modi is extremely upset at being rejected by the US and has gone to China only to try to erase his shame and it would not be wrong if his visit is called opportunism and materialism.
