Indian Consulate in Shanghai Commemorates Victims of Pahalgam Terrorism Incident during Rabindranath Tagore's Birth Anniversary Celebrations
On Sunday, the Consulate General of India in Shanghai, Pratik Mathur, marked Rabindra Jayanti with a somber pledge ceremony in honor of the victims of the Pahalgam terror attacks. Mathur underscored India's unwavering stance against terrorism with a no-tolerance policy, reflecting the nation's resolve demonstrated through Operation Sindoor.
In a social media post, the Consulate detailed the solemn event, stating, "On the occasion of Rabindra Jayanti, a pledge ceremony was held at the Consulate General of India, commemorating the martyrs of the Pahalgam terror attacks. CG Mathur reaffirmed India's national commitment to combating terrorism resolutely, as evident through Operation Sindoor. Long live India! Long live Motherland!"
India's continued fight against cross-border terrorism has led to seven all-party delegations visiting key partner nations, including members of the UN Security Council. These delegations aim to showcase India's unified approach to tackling terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, while presenting the world with a strong message of zero-tolerance against terrorism. Members of Parliament from various parties, prominent political figures, and eminent diplomats arepart of each delegation.
However, India has not sent any delegation to China. Meanwhile, China remains tight-lipped on the effectiveness of Pakistan's weapons during the recent military confrontation with India. On May 30, a Chinese Defence Ministry spokesperson, Zhang Xiaogang, avoided providing details about the subject, and instead urged both parties to maintain calm to avoid escalating the situation further.
In a curious turn of events, China has been criticized for its opaque approach to Pakistan's support during the conflict, as reports suggest that India has recovered an unexploded PL-15E missile, a Chinese-made beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile. Acknowledging the strained relationship between India and China, it is essential to understand the complex web of geopolitical intricacies that shape the region's security dynamics.
In the realm of India-China diplomatic relations, tensions persist due to factors such as border disputes and strategic rivalries. China's support for Pakistan complicates India's anti-terrorism efforts, as Pakistan allegedly harbors terrorist groups targeting India. China's stance on cross-border terrorism affecting India is multifaceted, with the country traditionally being reserved about labeling certain terrorist groups as threats, making it challenging for India to address these issues at the international level. The recent India-Pakistan conflict underscores China's strategic commitment to Pakistan, underscoring the complex nature of India-China relations and the regional security landscape. (ANI)
