Countries backing India on Article 370 move

This will be brushed aside as the propaganda of Indian media.
 
Is there an official statement from UAE foreign office rather than just the comments of an ambassador?

Nice misleading article. Indian media propaganda shouldn't be allowed.

Nice misleading article.

Since when is an ambassador's comments considered non representative of the government's? Then why have ambassadors?

Once again, the gulf states proving that their claims of being the leaders of the non-existent Ummah is fake.
 
There are not going to be any easy wins here for Pakistan. So we should expect muted levels of support in general. What is more important is to highlight what we think the worse case scenario is here. And then 18 or 24 months from now if this move leads to a full blown local insurgency in Kashmir, we will have to go back and remind the world that ‘we told you so’
The quick wins here will be for India, so Pakistan has to play the long game.
Of course all of Pakistan’s fears could be misplaced and we will see this great economic progress that is being promised and all will be well in the valley.
 
If I were a Pakistani, I would be extremely concerned about the Pakistani Foreign Office. This is one aspect of Pakistani government that has been an abject failure since independence.

Be it 1971, Kargil or any other incident, India has always triumphed diplomatically over Pakistan.

Even in this abrogation of article 370, which is such an emotive issue for all Pakistanis, we hear absolute silence from the world in general, and the Arab/Islamic states in particular. Shockingly, even Palestine, for which Pakistan has fought tooth and nail in any and all global forum, those Palestinians are quiet.

If anything, during the incident where Pakistan strongly objected to UAE/Saudi inviting India to OIC and making Indian Foreign Minister the Guest Of Honor, when Pakistan FM threatened to abandon the OIC meet unless the Indian FM was disinvited, it was the Palestinian delegation that fought the hardest to include the Indian FM.

In fact the Palestinian delegation to the OIC protested so hard for India, that they demanded that India be respected at the OIC, and went so far as to suggest that OIC offers India a special membership to the OIC! I was stunned to see that the Palestinians would go so far to bat for India.

Now we hear that the UAE is supporting India for revoking article 370.

Strangely, I never ever hear a murmur of protest against their foreign office by the Pakistanis ever. It is possible that like the Pakistan Army, the Pakistanis worship their Foreign Office and it is not culturally acceptable for Pakistanis to criticize their foreign office.

Ambassador's statement is the official statement. Not surprised.
 
Modi has won highest civilian awards in muslims countries. India has quite good relations with them.
Someday hopefully Pakistan also awards Mr modi highest civilian award in Parliament after knowing the worth like rest of the world.
 
Yeh to badi hi baijati ho gayi. Sbould play the afghan peace process threat card.

I think the MEA in India needs to reflect on why despite investing billions they are not on the negotiating table in Afghanistan. Pakistan won’t get easy wins on a territory they don’t hold. See the difference when you hold or have influence on territory? That’s the difference between a successful foreign policy and a toothless one.

It's India's failure that they aren't on the Afghan table. After millions of dollars of investments, people to people contacts, they have been cast aside. I believe the silence from Western powers on the Kashmir adventure was offered as a consolation instead.
 
OP;s been searching all morning for any quotes from any nations supporting India and he could only come up the UAE :)))

Gabbar Singh the champion of breaking news :)))

I am not sure it’s for Afghanistan, it might be for Iran. They’ve had to basically stop their current supply chain. Also, they’ve slashed their investment in Chahbahar port by 2/3rds even though they have a waiver to continue work there from the US govt (unfortunately for most of the world Trump is an unreliable partner, so India probably thought its better to wait out this presidency.

Having said that, the world is in flux since the US has turned isolationist, it started even before Trump.
Russia invaded Crimea and no one can do anything
US has basically shedded its fig leaf of impartiality in Israel Palestine but much of the Muslim world doesn’t care or actually works with Israel to suppress local dissidents: they buy their spying technology.
China and the Uighura
Myanmar and the Rohingyas
Syria is a free for all for anyone to invade
HK protests will be crushed brutally and we may even see moves on Taiwan
Same with UAE/Saudi and Yemen
Given this backdrop, I think India calculated that now is the right time to trigger this move.

Pakistan should focus on helping the US get out of Afghanistan and find a way to work with China in Iran. This will secure our eastern border. With that out of the way we can focus on highlighting every random atrocity in Kashmir as another holocaust :)
Strictly moral support.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but we will get lukewarm ‘concern’ statements and not much else. Our job is to highlight the risks of this move and then once it’s full blown crisis a year later, tell the world that we were right all along.

It's not a coincidence that right wing governments are popping everywhere. Times have changed and the right wing leaders, as somebody once said, have done what some one in the left can only dream about.

World is running on borrowed money, a big crisis is looming with automation and AI but the major issues on TV are immigration, Kashmir and other Geo political events. There is a Nexus between a few powers and they basically can do what ever they want without any accountability. US hasn't turned isolationist. Instead, they have their hands in everything even now albeit with a partnership. Other than the 6 to 7 countries in question, the rest are just surviving and don't have much voice. The same reason why UN is dead.

As far as Kashmir goes, with new found freedom and power, India can run their propaganda machine and mute out the voices if Kashmiris don't take advantage of the path to peace. A few terrorists will always be there to provide ammunition to the ruling government in the PR war. India already knows how to deal with this new Kashmir. They did it during the heights of Khalistan movement and even in the North East. With Kashmir, GOI has additional support from the rest of the Indian public as there is a perception that stone pelters and troublemakers are paid Pakistani stooges. As far as rest of the world is considered, Kashmir issue has been solved by India. It's no more a disputed land and is an internal part of India. Hence the use of "internal" world in the US and other statements. Time will tell if Kashmiris will embrace it whole heartedly or if they will be forced to embrace it.

We are at inflection point for sure. The US is losing allies at the moment. Time will tell, indeed.

Lol article 370 being an emotive issue for Pakistan... :)))
A week ago majority Pakistanis didn’t even know it existed so hardly an emotional issue

As for OIC you are telling one part of the story. they invited India to the conference and in same conference they bashed India and mocked its misadventure post Pulwama whilst praising Pakistan’s restraint and goodwill.

His post starts with 1971 and ends with Kargill indians are too full off there selfs.
 
Didn’t Pakistan, UAE and Saudis supported China recently when it comes to their occupation of Xinjiang? So this sort of statements shouldn’t be surprising.
 
When they don't support any Arab cause why would they do so Kashmir. Pak has a few friends but they are loyal to us. Turkey, Malaysia, China and perhaps Russia now as well. UAE is just a fun palace for the wealthy.
 
Maybe because its a muslim country and a part of muslim ummah.

UAE stands for United Arab Emirates. They see themselves as a conglomerate of Arab countries rather than representatives of Muslims, they follow the lead of USA and NATO above all others.


Glad to see that you think there is merit in India's position and hence support-worthy.

The UAE leaders are notorious on these boards as being corrupt scumbags with poor human rights record. There support for the hindutva policies of the BJP will be based on greed and realpolitik, not merit.

Fill in the blank for us, and we'll see whether they're supporting Pakistan on this front or not - rightly or wrongly.

After UAE, Sri Lanka now Maldives backs India on article 370, calls it 'Internal Matter'

After Sri Lanka and the UAE, the Maldives has backed India's decision to change the status of Jammu and Kashmir, terming it an "internal matter" of the country.

In a statement, the Maldives said it considers "the decision taken by the Government of India regarding Article 370 of the Indian Constitution as an internal matter".

"We believe it is the right of every sovereign nation to amend their laws as required," the statement added.

On Tuesday, Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe backed the creation of a new Union Territory of Ladakh, noting it would be the first Indian state with a Buddhist majority.

Wickremesinghe, in a tweet, also said that the creation of Ladakh and the restructuring of Jammu and Kashmir were India's internal matters.

The UAE Ambassador Ahmad Al Banna said his country has taken note of the Indian government's decision to abrogate Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir and added that it was India's internal matter aimed at improving efficiency.

"We also took note of the introduction of Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill in the Indian Parliament aimed at replacing Article 370 with the creation of Ladakh region and the state of Jammu and Kashmir as India's two new Union Territories," he said.

He added that from his understanding "the reorganisation of states is not a unique incident in the history of independent India and that it was mainly aimed at reducing regional disparity and improving efficiency".

He said the latest decision related to the state of Jammu and Kashmir as "an internal matter as stipulated by the Indian Constitution".

UAE, Sri Lanka, Maldives.. don't really matter. Let's not thump our chests here on this atrocity. I feel embarrassed as an Indian :facepalm:

If you want to discuss a different country then by all means start a new thread.
 
UAE is a non-important country. They just parrot words if you there is money. Doesn't matter. Even I as an Indian acknowledge this.
 
Yes those amazing world powers UAE, Sri Lanka and Maldives. Wait till superpower Papa New Guinea steps in the ring, that'll show them Kashmiris.

Which countries's reactions are you waiting for, either way? Saudi Arabia? Turkey? So far the silence is deafening, when they should be flying the flag for Pakistan in an ideal world.

Even if 199 countries support India it will not make genocide alright.
 
No need for anyone to back India.It is an internal matter and it has been done as govt pleased.Too bad some people will be victimised ( I really hope that number is low).Majority will have peace around in few years.

There are always problems when change of this maginutue occurs but evenually everything will alright.Giving Kashmir a special status was ridiculous to begin within by Nehru.
 
cant wait for the afghan govt to back india on article 370.
that would be hilarious, watching kabul commit political and actual suicide.

Kashmiris were probably given special status as compensation for being prevented from joining Pakistan.
 
Disappointing from UAE. A lot of the present Arab rulers are quite spineless and that is sad. Only Erdogan seems like a great leader.
 
Kashmir is a part of India and an Indian should be able to live anywhere within the boundaries of the country without any reservations. If some people don't like it then tough luck.
 
Come on, Maldives. Expected better from you.

I hope Bangladesh will not back India on Articla 370.
 
Its amusing to see pakistani posters making light of UAE. They are one of the most powerful muslim countries and UAE and Saudi hardly ever go separate on any important issue.

Not too long ago UAE gave pakistan $3bn to help their economy. Atleast show some gratitude.

That is why Hindutva ideology is so dangerous. This above comment is a perfect example, it also has to do with South Asian culture, but South Asian culture and ideology is predominently Hindu driven.

So, basically, Hindutva are saying, just because they helped you out with some loan then you are forbidden to criticize a government.

This is what you get, after thousands of years, getting little bit of big $$ bills and little taste in some kind of false sense of power, this is what you get.

Pathetic to say the least.

Bangladesh backs India on article 370 revocation

First ministerial statement from a Bangladesh supports India on article 370 revocation.

Bangladesh, Maldives back India's decision on Article 370

Bangladesh has said that Revocation of Art 370 for Jammu and Kashmir is an internal matter of India and they have no right to say anything about other's domestic affairs.

Speaking at a function in Dhaka today, Road Transport and Bridges Minister and the ruling Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Qader said that Bangladesh does not make comments on a neighbour's internal issues.

This is the first official comment from the government of Bangladesh after provisions in Art. 370 granting special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir were revoked by India today.

http://www.newsonair.com/News?title...India&#39;s-decision-on-Article-370&id=369776
 
I condemn this as a Bangladeshi.

May Kashmir be free one day.

Hasina doesn't speak for all Bangladeshis.

Well no one does. But she is an elected PM, so her opinion matters wayy wayyyy more than a random keyboard warrior.
 
Or in this case, Road Transport and Bridges Minister and the ruling Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Qader.

They are all the same to me. When I mean Hasina, I mean the entire party.

They are extremely unpopular currently and they are holding on to power by force. I hope one day we will have a strong and proper leader like Erdogan.

You support Erodgan after saying above line?
 
Kashmiris were probably given special status as compensation for being prevented from joining Pakistan.

Yes to some extent but Nehru jumped the gun there.There was no way he wanted to join Pakistan.Patel dealth with 523 princely states , he would have dealt with Kashmir too.
 
Please don't compare Hasina to the great Erdogan.

Erdogan is an honorable and great man. He is a fantastic leader with a spine.

Erdogan has destroyed the Turkish economy and made enemies out of former allies of Turkey.

Ok..didn’t compare Hasina with Erodgan but how you accused Hasina about force but Erodgan is great, got it.

Hasina has the most courage of any current world leader. Most of her family were murdered, yet she came back from abroad and built her political career. Ergodan faced none of the personal danger she has faced and overcome.

She was the only Bangladeshi leader who brought those Bangladeshis who were part of the group that murdered millions in 1971 to justice.

She has created a stable environment for Bangladesh's economy to develop, and the economy has done spectacularly well during the past decade.

She is not perfect and may have dictatorial tendencies, but she is far superior to the alternative.

There is nothing for Pakistani support Pakistan on.

For Pakistan it doesn’t change anything. It’s not like earlier India referred to it as disputed territory and now it doesn’t

Erdogan supported pak though

I tell you one thing. Most of the young people of Bangladesh generally hate Hasina and her party. Her supporters are mostly mid-aged people and old people.

Also, her family was murdered by our own army. It was because they were behaving like dictators.

Wow, the UAE ambassador to India remains coy on the matter and calls it an 'internal incident' now apparently means UAE is backing India and on their side.

Honestly you Indians are drip fed so much trash with your 1000s of trash news channels and Bollywood life I can't think of anything worse happening to me than being born a gangadeshi.

So you feel so bad about yourself just because UAE is supporting India (well, an Arab nation saying 'internal matter' and not supporting Pakistan's cries over 'atrocities on muslims in Kashmir', is tantamount to supporting India).

Well nothing new about it. UAE supported India in the OIC (organization of Islamic Countries) meeting when as the host nation it invited India as the guest of honor over Pakistan's objections. It actually went further and allowed the Indian Foreign Minister to make the speech to all OIC delegates even though the Pakistan Prime Minister threw tantrum and threatened to walk out (Well he actually walked out from Indian FM's speech in which she spoke extensively against nations sponsoring cross border terror).

India invited as 'guest of honour' to OIC meet, Sushma Swaraj to attend

"New Delhi: In a major diplomatic victory for India and a setback for Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates has invited foreign minister Sushma Swaraj to attend the foreign ministers’ meet of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) States, set to take place in Abu Dhabi on 1-2 March — the first such invite in five decades.

Swaraj will be the “guest of honour" at the inaugural plenary 46th meeting of OIC foreign ministers. The move is seen as a major blow to Pakistan that has consistently opposed India’s entry into the grouping despite having the third-largest Muslim population in the world."

Look I don't give a ****. An ambassador IN INDIA has to GIVE A DIPLOMATIC RESPONSE THIS is COMMON SENSE FOR A SENSITIVE TOPIC.

I don't care about India being invited to the OIC. Given the sheer over population of Indians in this world and in particular working in the middle east, you've obviously got to maintain cordial relations.

Look I don't hate Indians but I bloody detest this Hindutva ideology.

Friend BuffaloSoldier, we are in the same boat. Both you and I hate extremist ideology. I also hate extremist islamic ideology which keeps 'non state terror camps' to train 'non state' actors and sends them around the world to cut, chop, shoot people, and fly planes into buildings. I am sure you hate that too.

Lets make a deal. We will EQUALLY hate extremism and genocide regardless of where it happens and who is involved. Lets agree to speak up against rapes/murders by soldiers whether they are in East Pakistan or in Kashmir. Deal? Lets criticize it when there are terror camps within Pakistan or elsewhere. Deal?
