The PM deserves hosannas on his down -to-earth straight -forward and hard hitting speech in the UN General Assembly last Friday. It will echo in the corridor of powers in New Delhi for a long time to come. What good is the UN if it cannot get its resolutions implemented. It might go the way of the League of Nations if its member countries do not consider its resolutions worth the paper they are written on. The PM fearlessly said many things which his predecessors were shy of saying in the UN in the past. His speech which was extempore was quite different from the speeches rendered by our rulers in the same forum during the past ten years or so. Calling a spade a spade in such a high level forum and uttering words which are not music to the ears of many leading participants was quite a daring step which a very few persons can take and Imran Khan certainly deserves plaudits for it.
The PM hit the right nail on the head when expressing his disappointment over the lackadaisical reaction of some countries to the Indian barbarity in the occupied valley he said that their heavy financial investment in India which is making them tight-lipped over Indian excesses in Kashmir might go down the drain in case an atomic war started in the sub-continent if the Kashmir issue wasn’t resolved.
The high point of the present high-pitched campaign of the foreign office on the Indian action of 5 th August ,2019 reached with the PM’s address to the UN general Assembly on 27 th September 2019. The question is :What next?The government must not relax. The Indian high handedness must be exposed consistently and there should be no let up on this score. Our ambassadors and press attaches abroad must not lower their guard and they should cultivate with the media of the country they are stationed in and regularly through write-ups and talk shows expose the atrocities of Indian troops on the Kashmiris. It is going to be a long and arduous battle but we have to fight it out till the end.
