Diplomatic outreach

While India has strongly opposed any mediation in its engagement with Pakistan, the diplomatic outreach by India, which began on May 21 (Page 1, May 21), appears to contradict India stance on its bilateral ties with Pakistan as we are trying to justify and impress upon other nations the need to accept Operation Sindoor and be empathetic to what India did. Suppose other friendly nations, taking advantage of their relations with India, wanted to be involved in resolving issues between the two sides, would we accept these moves? So long as ‘‘China backs Pakistan in defending its ‘sovereignty’” (May 20), such exercises do not add up to anything but only heighten tensions between the two — as it has been the case for decades now.
