Indias Influence at Shanghai Summit: SP Vaids Insights

Jammu, September 2: Former Director General of Police (DGP) of Jammu and Kashmir, SP Vaid, has commented on various issues including Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statements at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, India’s 7.8% GDP growth, terrorism, the demolition of Hindu temples in Pakistan, and crimes against women. He sharply criticized Pakistan’s removal of Prime Minister Modi’s image, linking it to Pakistan’s mentality and perceived inferiority complex towards India.

Regarding the alleged edited image from Pakistan’s Prime Minister’s Office, Vaid stated that it reflects Pakistan’s hatred towards India and Prime Minister Modi. He noted the warm meetings between Prime Minister Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO summit, highlighting India’s growing global influence. He asserted that removing Modi’s image from a photo does not affect his global reputation, as he addresses broader global issues and humanitarian topics.

On the demolition of a nearly 100-year-old Hindu temple in Pakistan, Vaid remarked that it illustrates the plight of minorities there. He questioned why such incidents would not receive extensive coverage in international media if they occurred in India, emphasizing that the destruction of a temple cannot erase India’s ancient culture, which has faced numerous challenges and will continue to endure.

Vaid supported Prime Minister Modi’s stance at the SCO summit, where he described war as a setback for humanity and called for an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He reiterated that Modi has consistently stated that war is not a solution to problems, noting the detrimental effects of the Russia-Ukraine war on both countries and the world. He urged both Russia and Ukraine to take the Prime Minister’s call for peace seriously.

In response to comments made by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif regarding the Indus Water Treaty, Vaid asserted that India is not using water as a weapon. He accused Pakistan of allegedly employing terrorism as a state policy and urged Pakistan to curb terrorism and take steps towards normalizing relations with India.

Vaid praised Prime Minister Modi’s strong message against terrorism at the SCO summit, stating that the joint statement condemned all forms of terrorism. He viewed this as a message to Pakistan, emphasizing the need for all countries to unite against terrorism. He also supported Modi’s views on the necessity of peace and regional stability in Afghanistan.

Commenting on India’s 7.8% GDP growth, Vaid noted that this is not merely India’s claim but is supported by data from international organizations. Despite global challenges such as conflicts in West Asia, the Ukraine-Russia war, inflation, rising oil prices, and supply chain disruptions, India’s robust economic performance is significant and deserving of recognition.

Addressing the recent alleged gang rape of a minor girl on a moving bus in Delhi, Vaid described it as extremely serious and shameful. He emphasized that respect for women has been a crucial part of Indian culture and that the law must be strictly enforced against such incidents. He stressed that women’s safety is not just a legal issue but also a social responsibility, calling for stringent action against perpetrators.

On a controversial remark made by a Muslim cleric regarding women, Vaid argued that confining women to their homes is not a solution to any problem. He contended that crimes against women are linked to the mindset of the perpetrators rather than specific attire or communities. He highlighted that women contribute across all sectors in the country, and the notion of keeping them away from public life is unacceptable. Vaid underscored the long history of women’s social, political, military, and professional participation in India, deeming their respect and active involvement essential for society.
