US President Donald Trump’s recent assertion that he brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, potentially staving off nuclear war, has sparked intense political debate in India. Trump painted a grim picture, warning of threats to Pakistan’s leadership without his timely intervention.
BJP parliamentarian Gulam Ali Khatana responded with unwavering patriotism. In an interview, he positioned India as an unstoppable force under PM Narendra Modi’s stewardship. ‘Others’ opinions on us are irrelevant. India is hurtling towards becoming the third biggest global power,’ he stated firmly.
Detailing Modi’s transformative impact, Khatana pointed to boosted opportunities for startups, farmers, and innovative ventures on the world stage. International acceptance of India has skyrocketed, with heightened expectations from major economies.
Addressing Modi’s Israel trip, Khatana lauded India’s impartial stance on Israel-Palestine and its autonomous foreign policy. He criticized a letter from Bareilly’s Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi fearing hurt sentiments among Muslims, advocating dialogue over division.
Meanwhile, outrage over mistreatment of Kashmiri students at a Punjab private university during Ramadan led to the VC’s ouster. Khatana urged all institutions to honor religious traditions amid instant social media scrutiny, pressing Punjab authorities for justice and reaffirming the Centre’s commitment to equality for every Indian.
