Narendra Modi had times and again threatened Pakistan of dire consequencesand isolation in the international community as integral part of the IndianForeign Policy. However much to his dissapointment and frustration Pakistanemerged as an important regional state and bonded strong alliances withSuper Powers like China and Russia.
Now Modi has said that to assume New Delhi’s foreign policy revolves aroundPakistan would be a “grave injustice” to India, Times of India reported.
“India’s foreign policy is based in the context of India. India’s foreignpolicy is based in the context of its relations with the world. It isissue-based. Our foreign policy is not based around one nation and itshouldn’t be,” said Modi during an interview on Sunday.
Without naming any country but in a clear reference to Pakistan, he saidIndia was not working to isolate one nation, but that “whoever takes a stepagainst terrorism, I will welcome them and praise them.”
“Humanity is in great danger and to save humanity, it is important forpowers that believe in humanitarian values to unite. I believe this fightis about saving humanity and nothing can be a bigger soft power than this.You have to unite those who believe in humanitarian values, only then canyou isolate terrorists and defeat terrorism,” said Modi.
Modi also invited Pakistan to join hands with India to fight poverty anddisease.
“If we fight together, we will win faster,” said Modi in a message forPakistan and its people.
In 2016, days after a militant attack on a military base in Indian-occupiedKashmir, Modi had lashed out at Pakistan, threatening to isolate it in theworld. At least 18 Indian military personnel were killed when fourcommando-style gunmen burst into the brigade headquarters near the Line ofControl (LoC) in Uri sector.
