Modi's approach to China and Pakistan! NDA's Foreign Policy
NDA Govt. brought China & Pak together, says Rahul Gandhi - Really?
In Parliament of India Rahul Gandhi (INC Leader) says very confidently "The single biggest strategic goal of India's foreign policy is to keep Pakistan and China separate and you brought them closer". This statement of Rahul Gandhi is against the Modi’s Foreign Policy.
After this statement of Rahul Gandhi, External Affairs Minister of India Dr. S. Jaishankar counter Rahul Gandhi and says:
The tweets of EAM S. Jaishankar prove that the statement of Rahul Gandhi is 100% politically biased and stupid. He (RG) give the statements without any research.
Let us understand the Foreign Policy of Modi’s NDA Govt. from 2014 to 2022. (To Counter China & Pakistan).
On May 26, 2014 Narendra Damodardas Modi become the Prime Minister of India and NDA again came in power and Mrs. Sushma Swaraj was appointed as the new External Affairs Minister of India in Modi’s Union cabinet. Modi’s first official foreign trip was to neighbouring Bhutan, and in just over a year he visited all of India’s immediate neighbours, with the exception of Pakistan and the Maldives (where a planned visit was suddenly cancelled due to political differences). PM Modi lands in Lahore in 2015 and surprise the whole world (His visit to Pakistan is unplanned).
In short Narendra Modi try to improve the Relations of India with Pakistan, but in 2016 Pakistani Government funded terrorists attacked Indian Army’s Base in Uri, J&K and immediately the Modi government order the Indian Army to conduct a Surgical Strike on Terrorists camps in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to take revenge of the Uri attack. On Wednesday, 28 September 2016 Indian Army’s Special Force conduct a Surgical Strike in POK and kill 500-600 terrorists.
This is the first time in history when Indian Army goes inside the POK and killed the Pak funded terrorists.
But in 2008, Pakistani Terrorists came in Mumbai by Sea Route and attack on various places - Taj, Mumbai Railway Station etc and in these attacks 175 innocent Civilians & more than 30 Police Officials were lost their lives. This was the deadliest attack on India ever had. After this attack Indian Airforce proposed a plan to conduct a Air Strike on Terrorists Camps in Pakistan, but PM Manmohan Singh & INC President Sonia Gandhi reject that plan.
We can understand by this that the UPA (2004-2014) government always had a very soft policy to counter Pakistan.
The Pakistan & China Relations
The 22nd of May 2021 marked the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and Pakistan that began in 1951. First of all, after the communist rule came in China in 1949, Pakistan voted it in the United Nations, because Pakistan knew that China can be their best option. And the option was really a right chosen one.
Diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China were established on 21 May 1951. However, with escalating border tensions leading to the 1962 Sino-Indian war, China and Pakistan aligned with each other in a joint effort to counter Indian encroachment. One year after China's border war with India, Pakistan ceded the Trans-Karakoram Tract to China to end border disputes and improve diplomatic relations.
Then during the 65' war, China supported Pakistan with weaponry and favored it's stance in the UN too. After the war, China also supported to help out recover from the aftermaths.
China and Pakistan combinely built the 'Karakoram Highway' which is known to be the most deadliest roads of the world. In this whole project many Pakistani and Chinese lost their lives. This friendship example tells the whole story of sincerity between these two nations. China always supported Pakistan in weaponry too and in turn the Chinese products are quite common in Pakistan. Dong Feng missiles technology and Atomic Submarines are one of the examples.
Then China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is yet another example of Chinese support to the Pakistan.
In 1965 war, Pakistan didn't get the expected military resources from USA. Pakistan turned towards China and their strategic defense cooperation increased. China is now Pakistan's biggest arms supplier.
American President Richard Nixon supported Pakistan during the 1971 Bangladesh war. Pakistan played key mediation role in improving the relationship between USA and China. It resulted in Nixon's visit to China in 1972.
China supports Pakistan's stance on Kashmir. Pakistan supports China on Taiwan and Tibet.
After the 1962 Sino-Indian war, Pakistan grew closer with China. Pakistan realized China would be a good counterweight against India.
Did NDA Govt. brought China & Pak together?
I think you got the answer of this questions from above section, but let us understand the answer of this question clearly.
First of all we need to understand that "What is the UPA approach to counter China and Pakistan" - Former UPA’s Defence Minister of India A. K. Antony said in Parliament "The road should not be built on the border of China because If we built roads on Chinese border China will feel more threaten from this and the relations between China and India will deteriorate, China is more advance than us".
"चीन की सीमा पर सड़क नहीं बननी चाहिए क्योंकि अगर हमने चीनी सीमा पर सड़कें बनाईं तो चीन को इससे अधिक खतरा होगा और चीन और भारत के संबंध बिगड़ेंगे, चीन हमसे ज्यादा आगे है"। (Hindi Translation)
Speech of AK Antony (Click to Watch)
According to UPA Government "The Best defence is not to develop the Infrastructure on Chinese border". It is like "कोई आपको पीट रहा है और आप चुप चाप पीट रहे हैं।". Pakistan also supported indirectly this statement of A. K. Antony.
Now, Let us understand "What is the Modi’s approach to counter China and Pakistan" - When the NDA came in power and Narendra Modi become the Prime Minister of India, the budet of Border Road Orgnisation (BRO, the agency which built road & infrastructure on the international borders) is increased and India started building the Roads on Chinese & Pakistan Borders. BRO built Atal Tunnel, Darbuk-Shayok-Daulat Beg Oldie Road (DS-DBO) and Roads of more than 10,000 Kilometres on the borders.
India is building the best infrastructure on the Chinese and Pakistan border from 2014. In Union budget of FY-2022-23 the budget of BRO is increased by 40%, you can eaisly understand by this that NDA government is doing everything to counter China. Narendra Modi Government transform the International of India completely.

Rahul Gandhi has give a stupid statement in Lok Sabha.
नरेंद्र मोदी सरकार पाकिस्तान और चीन को करीब नही लेकर आई है, बस भारत की विदेश नीति बदल गई है - हम अब चुप चाप बैठकर चीन से डरते नहीं रहेंगे हम भी खुद को इतना शक्तिशाली बना रहे हैं ताकी चीन को मुह तोड़ जवाब दे सकें।
Thankyou
