The Indian Army has reminded America its dual policy by sharing the old cutting of the newspaper.
New Delhi: After the threat of former US President Donald Trump on purchasing oil from Russia, India has shown a mirror in the pages of history, giving a befitting reply. The Eastern Command of the Indian Army, while sharing an old cuttings related to the 1971 war of a newspaper, reminded America. In this post, a report of August 5, 1971 was shown in which it is clearly written that the US had given $ 2 billion weapons to Pakistan from 1954 to that time. At that time India’s Defense Production Minister V.C. Shukla had said in Parliament that even when France and the Soviet Union refused to give weapons to Pakistan, the US continued to send weapons to Pakistan.
Time to share old cutting is also important
VC Shukla also questioned NATO countries and said that they are ignoring Pakistan’s life in Bangladesh. The report stated that Pakistan fought the 1971 war with American and Chinese weapons. The timing to share this old cutting is also important. The post has come at a time when Trump has warned India that if he continues to buy oil from Russia, he will impose more than 25% tax on Indian goods. India responded in a strict tone on this. The Ministry of External Affairs clearly stated that the US itself was promoting oil purchases from Russia at the beginning of the Ukraine War. In such a situation, questioning India’s needs is a double criteria.
India will not back down on national interest issues
India also said that oil procurement is needed today and this decision has been taken after seeing the condition of the global market. Apart from this, the countries that criticized India are also doing business from Russia themselves while it is not a compulsion for them. The Indian Army has made it clear by reminding of the 1971 war that when it comes to national interests, India is not going to retreat. India has made it clear that it will make its own decisions, whether it is to buy oil from Russia or trade from any other country.
