Modi’s bid to isolate Pakistan backfires, leaves India diplomatically marginalized: BBC
London: The BBC, in an analytical report, has observed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought to diplomatically isolate Pakistan on the global stage, but instead found India itself increasingly sidelined.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Pakistan’s proactive and effective diplomacy has led to a 15-day ceasefire between Iran and the United States, with Islamabad now set to host crucial peace talks between the two sides starting Friday. The development is being widely viewed as a major diplomatic success, helping avert a potentially devastating regional conflict.
In contrast, India’s silence during the crisis has drawn criticism, with observers interpreting it as a reflective of its entrenched hostility towards Pakistan and Muslims. International media outlets have also begun highlighting India’s inconsistent and hypocritical posture.
The BBC report underscored that while Modi aimed to corner Pakistan diplomatically, the outcome has been the opposite. India’s decision to overlook Pakistan’s mediation efforts has further weakened its own diplomatic relevance.
It further noted that Pakistan has emerged as a credible mediator in a sensitive global crisis, earning the confidence of key international players including the United States, Iran, and China. As global leaders acknowledge Pakistan’s constructive role, India’s absence from the diplomatic forefront has become increasingly noticeable.
Significantly, the report added that even segments of Indian media, along with opposition leaders and analysts, have begun recognizing and, in some cases, praising Pakistan’s diplomatic engagement, marking a rare moment of acknowledgment across the divide.
