In another diplomatic failure, India has failed to convince the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD) members to name Pakistan in the joint statement regarding the Pahalgam incident.
This development comes days after India failed to get the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) members to condemn Pakistan for the Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
After world leaders refused to name the Pahalgam incident while recognizing Pakistan’s legitimate concerns about Indian-sponsored terrorism, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh refused to sign the joint statement by SCO member states.
The recent faux pas committed by the Indian envoy at the SCO Summit and the QUAD joint statement come as yet another example of India’s global isolation.
The QUAD Statement, which Indian media is celebrating, stated, “The Quad unequivocally condemns all acts of terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms and manifestations, including cross-border terrorism, and renews our commitment to counterterrorism cooperation.”
“We express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and extend our heartfelt wishes for a swift and full recovery to all those injured.”
The statement further read, “We call for the perpetrators, organizers, and financiers of this reprehensible act to be brought to justice without any delay and urge all UN Member States, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant UNSCRs, to cooperate actively with all relevant authorities in this regard.”
According to a senior analyst, the Indian envoy tried its best to blame Pakistan for the Pahalgam attack in the QUAD joint statement; however, it failed to do so.
As Indian public copes with the failures of Modi government, medias reports have also suggested that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, often dubbed in India as the 21st century foreign policy mastermind, may be sacked by Modi.
