Samajwadi Party MP ST Hasan delivered a sharp analysis of the US-Iran dialogue unfolding in Pakistan, predicting failure unless Israel eases its military pressure on Lebanon. From Moradabad, in an IANS interview dated April 11, Hasan unpacked the geopolitical missteps and domestic voter list controversies gripping India.
‘India missed a golden chance to host these talks in Delhi,’ Hasan lamented. He portrayed Pakistan as an unworthy mediator, a country he links to terrorism’s roots, while lamenting India’s pivot towards Israel at the expense of longstanding ties with Iran. ‘We’ve pushed away a true friend,’ he said, critiquing the shift in alliances.
Hasan painted a vivid picture of power plays: America seeks an exit strategy from endless wars, with Pakistan’s compliant leadership serving as a conduit. ‘They’re Trump’s yes-men,’ he quipped. China’s diplomatic nudge brought Iran aboard, but Israel’s ongoing assaults on Lebanon cast a long shadow. Without de-escalation there, Hasan warned, negotiations are doomed.
Addressing Nobel Peace Prize buzz around Pakistan, he retorted: ‘A nation that harbors attackers like Kasab—does it deserve such acclaim?’ The global community, he insisted, sees through the facade.
Turning inward, Hasan challenged the narrative on UP voter purges. ‘BJP areas hit hardest? That’s just smoke and mirrors. We need data on Muslim, Dalit, and OBC deletions to uncover the truth.’ His call for transparency highlights potential voter suppression targeting key demographics.
As regional flashpoints simmer, Hasan’s voice amplifies calls for India to reclaim its peacemaking mantle and safeguard electoral integrity, blending international intrigue with homefront battles.
