Srinagar: In a significant and rare admission, former Chief of India\u2019s external intelligence agency RAW, A.S. Dulat, has acknowledged that New Delhi\u2019s policy of war and isolating Pakistan has yielded no positive results for India.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, while speaking in an exclusive interview with BBC Urdu\u2019s Shakil Akhtar, the former spymaster openly stated that neither military confrontation nor attempts to diplomatically isolate Pakistan have benefited India.<\/p>\n
Dulat emphasised that dialogue remains the only viable path forward between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.<\/p>\n
Dulat, who served as RAW chief during the Vajpayee era and was known for his deep involvement in Kashmir-related matters, appeared candid in his assessment of India-Pakistan relations.<\/p>\n
He highlighted that repeated military posturing and aggressive policies have failed to deliver strategic gains, instead leading to a deadlock that harms both nations.<\/p>\n
His remarks come at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan remain high.<\/p>\n
Analysts view Dulat\u2019s statement as a major blow to the hardline narrative pushed by the Indian establishment, particularly the BJP regime, which has long projected an aggressive posturing against Pakistan as a sign of strength.
\nThe former RAW chief\u2019s interview has drawn mixed reactions in India, with some calling him \u201crealistic\u201d while others accusing him of being overly soft on Pakistan.<\/p>\n
However, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and across Pakistan, his comments are being seen as validation of the long-standing view that confrontation has only brought suffering to the people of the region, particularly Kashmiris.<\/p>\n
Dulat\u2019s frank admission once again exposes the hollowness of India\u2019s claims of victory through military misadventurism and diplomatic isolation of Pakistan. It reinforces the global understanding that sustainable peace in South Asia can only be achieved through meaningful dialogue and resolution of core issues, especially the Kashmir dispute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
