ISLAMABAD: Prof Zafar Nawaz Jaspal from the Quaid-i-Azam University has expressed concerns over the aggressive regional policy of India under Modi.
Dr Jaspal was speaking at a panel discussion on “India under Modi” organised here by the Institute of Regional Studies. He said the Indian regional policy formulation is inspired by the Mandalas concept enunciated by the Indian political philosopher Chankya by virtue of which a neighbouring country had to remain unfriendly by definition. He expressed his concern over the transformation of Indian nuclear posture towards Pakistan from deterrence to what he called “compelling”. He opined that India was now allied with the US and was thus no longer a non-aligned country.
