  • Article :- Despite the support of Russia, Will India be able to become a permanent member of the UNSC due to Nehru’s mistake?

    Last week India succeeded in becoming a temporary member of the UNSC in the UN. Most of the countries of the world have supported India to become permanent member. The great powers of the world, America, France and Russia have also supported India. Today Russia has again given its support to India.

    Despite this, will India be able to become a permanent member of the UNSC due to Nehru’s mistake?

    In 1950, America and in 1955 Russia proposed Nehru to be a permanent member of UNSC for India. But Nehru turned down the proposals received from both the US and Russia, and the Prime Minister of India had advised the US and Russia to make UNSC permanent member instead of India.

    That is, Nehru handed over the veto power which was going to come into India’s hands due to America and Russia, to China on the advice of Comrade Krishna Menon.

    Due to Nehru’s mistake, China now has veto power in the UNSC. Due to this veto power, whenever proposal comes to make India a permanent member of UNSC, China will veto. Therefore, it will be very difficult for India to get permanent membership of UNSC due to Nehru’s mistake.

    What about the future

    >> Charter amendment would be required to obtain permanent membership of the UN Security Council, which would be subject to the Chinese veto.

    China may continue to block India’s candidacy for membership of the NSG. On the proposal for permanent membership. The related file should be traced, disbanded and transferred from the National Archives. The nation has the right to know what is the reality?

    >> Chinese leadership consistently followed the policy of ‘China First’. The People’s Republic of China replaced Taiwan at the United Nations in 1971. He exercised his first veto on Bangladesh’s accession to the United Nations in August 1972 to neutralize geopolitical gains in the 1971 war. Also used veto in Masood Azhar case.

    Nehru surrendered those proposals to India for good relations with China, the proposals that had come for India to become permanent members of America and Russia. Nehru made this mistake so that peace should remain and China was helpful in it.

    Nehru’s concern about disrupting India’s relations with China did not stop relations deteriorating over the next decade. This was not the result of American mechanization, but rather Chinese aggression. India had been dependent on the Soviet veto since the 50s. It was strange that we as permanent members of the Security Council did not want to keep this option for ourselves.

  • India hopes for early resumption of dialogue between Palestine, Israel

    Expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said India hopes for an early resumption of dialogue between Palestine and Israel for moving towards a comprehensive and negotiated resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    In his message on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people, Modi said, “I wish to convey India’s strong support for the Palestinian cause and to express our solidarity with the Palestinian people in their efforts to establish a sovereign, independent and united State of Palestine co-existing peaceful with the State of Israel.

    He said as the Day is marked, “we hope for an early resumption of dialogue between Palestine and Israel for moving towards a comprehensive and negotiated resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

    Modi underscored that historical ties between India and Palestine have further strengthened in recent years, adding that his visit to Ramallah in February this year was the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Palestine.

    “The visit was an assertion of India’s strong commitment for the development of Palestine.”

    India has announced an increase in the annual scholarships for Palestinian students, six new projects including construction of a specialty hospital and an increase in its annual contribution to UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East).

    “Our financial and technical assistance is an expression of our strong resolve to strengthen Palestinian institutions,” Modi said.

    In his message Wednesday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said a two-State solution where Israel and Palestine live side-by-side as sovereign nations is still “the only option” for lasting peace, and “containing the situation is not sufficient.”

    Guterres said more than 40 years ago, the General Assembly established an International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people to remind “us of our collective, unfinished task of resolving the question of Palestine. Over the decades, this has become one of the most intractable challenges for the international community, and we know only too well the tragic results.”

    He called on Palestinian and Israeli leaders “to restore faith in the promise” of the UN General Assembly resolution of two States living side-by-side in peace and security, fulfilling the legitimate national aspirations of both peoples, with borders based on the 1967 lines and Jerusalem as the capital of both states – East Jerusalem being the capital of the Palestinian state.”

  • Editorial :- Rahul-Congress hands with Lashkar?

    Today Saifuddin Soz and Ghulam Nabi Azad are in the entire media world. BJP and Shiv Sena leaders and spokesman Poora used to scold these two Congress leaders. He gave the statement while demanding ‘freedom of Kashmir’ and whose support by Lashkar-e-Taiba was only the language spoken by Rahul Gandhi in America.
    Not only that, Congress had joined hands with Pakistan at the time of UPA rule. After that, the command of the Congress came in Rahul Gandhi’s hand, he decided that Yen-Ken-Raben had to become Prime Minister. They have also joined hands with Pakistan and China. This will be discussed in this editorial.
    It is revealed from the disclosure of WikiLeaks that Rahul Gandhi, the US ambassador, Timothy J. Rumar had said that the most dangerous of the country is saffron terrorism. In this conversation, Rahul Gandhi

    told the US ambassador, “Islamic terrorist organizations such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba have got the support of certain Muslims, but the country is spreading fast from the radical Hindu organizations. These organizations are creating religious tensions and political animosity. ”
    Today, Rahul Gandhi’s statement is repeated by Ghulam Nabi Azadi and Saifuddin Soz.
    Senior Congress leader Saifuddin Soz has once again come into controversy. He said that people of Jammu and Kashmir want freedom.
    Soz has given this statement to his book. Soz said that they have written in the book
    Indeed, Soz has supported the statement of Pervez Musharraf in his book ‘Kashmir: Glimpses of History and the Story of Struggle’. Parvez had demanded freedom for Kashmir. He had to say that Lashkar-e-Taiba also gave his reaction on this.
    Lashkar said that Ghulam Nabi Azad is a big leader of Kashmir. Whatever he said, is true. Lashkar has supported the statement of Azad: “The army is being oppressed in the army.
    Ghulam Nabi Azad had said that the number of civilians killed in Kashmir was not more than that of the terrorists, more than the bullets of the army.
    According to Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravindra Raina, the links of Saifuddin Soz and Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad are from Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafeez Saeed and Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar.
    During a debate a few years ago in the India News Channel, former RAW officer RSN Singh also did similar disclosures:
    ‘The enemy number 1 of India is blackmailing Hafiz Saed Congress. Hafiz Saeed is a helpful hand to send black corrupt money to the Congress abroad and in return, Hafiz Saeed has been running his terrorist network racket in India without interruption in the UPA regime. ”
    For the elections of 2019, the agenda of the Congress and the BJP has already been decided in Anjaana.
    With the help of Congress, Pakistan and China, the Hindus have started and the Muslim appeasement policy has started.
    On the contrary, the BJP has an agenda of 2019 for ‘nation’s paramount importance and nation first’. BJP has forgotten its mistake to remove the resentment of its mistakes, now under the amendment, the BJP has broken the ties with the PDP in Jammu and Kashmir. It is, of course, to improve its image, the Central Government will deal with the terrorists / stonebags strictly, meaning … BJP supporter once again in the public between the new Will be able to go with breath!
    In the General Election of the 2019 general elections, the unions of the non-BJP? According to today’s news, in Uttar Pradesh and yesterday’s news, in Andhra Pradesh Congress has resolved to follow the policy of Ekla Chalo. Mamta is also a major obstacle in non-BJP unity. That is why non-BJP unity has become wired.
    The agenda of the Congress has been fixed for 2019. Congress Yen-Ken-Raccon has secretly entered into an agreement with Pakistan and China to come to power. It will move on the policy of its old Muslim appeasement, even further, it has begun to join hands with the forces that are breaking the country.
    It is necessary to mention this in brief. 10 Janpath’s Nehru-Gandhi family’s blindfolder Mani Shankar Aiyar has repeatedly gone to Pakistan and has given statements against the Indian government only on the gest of the Gandhi family.
    During the Gujarat assembly elections, the lunch that was held at Mani Shankar Aiyar’s house at night was attended by Manmohan Singh and other Congress leaders including External Affairs Minister Kasuri before Pakistan.
    Attempts to divide Hindus during the Karnataka assembly elections and separate flag for Karnataka were also publicized.
    It is also notable that the JNU Rahul Gandhi also came with the Left leaders and Kejriwal to pat the Freedom Gang.
    He is repeating the false propaganda of Hindu terrorism that happened in the UPA regime. Yesterday’s statement of Digvijay Singh is also based on this.
    Today the statements made by Saifuddin Soz and Ghulam Nabi Azad have also been given under the agenda of Congress’s 2019.
    The Congress has to think now that why is it going on Muslim appeasement and Pakistan and China policy? What would it be like to join hands with the Lashkar?
