The light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off due to budget cuts, But I'm not bothered coz I have lighter. सत्यमेव जयते.
It is shocking—and now entirely indefensible—that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Government of India have failed to secure the return of the eighth Indian Navy veteran, Commander Purnendu Tiwary. Hon’ble Prime Minister had publicly stated that all 8 Navy veterans had returned to India from Doha. Yet, Commander Tiwary was left behind, while his 7 peers were brought back on 12 February 2024. The explanation of “paper formalities” is no longer tenable. More than two years have passed, and the consequences of this lapse have been grave. Commander Tiwary has endured nearly four years of extreme hardship in Doha and has now been languishing in jail for almost five months. He is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) along with other serious medical conditions. His health is deteriorating rapidly. This is not a delay—it is a humanitarian failure. What is even more alarming is that the cases against him were stitched out of the very same case for which he had already been pardoned by His Highness, despite having no role in the company’s financial matters. The responsibility for finances and contractual obligations rested solely with the company owner. Yet, in a clear attempt to shift blame, CEO Khamis implicated Commander Tiwary. The Qatar High Court, in its unequivocal judgment dated 12 March 2026, rejected these allegations and declared Commander Purnendu Tiwary innocent. Despite this clear judicial finding, he continues to remain in jail. For over two years, the family waited in silence, trusting repeated assurances from MEA. That trust now stands completely shaken. It is heartbreaking—and unacceptable—that his 87-year-old mother still waits while her son remains behind. This is not merely a lapse—it reflects a serious failure of urgency and accountability in a matter involving the life, dignity, and survival of an Indian citizen and a former naval officer. Commander Tiwary’s condition is now critical. Every passing day increases the risk to his life. 🚨 Immediate and decisive intervention is required now. 🙏 An earnest appeal from his sister to the Hon'ble Prime Minister & Hon'ble EAM —please bring Commander Purnendu Tiwary back home without any further delay. His 87-year-old mother is still waiting. @PMOIndia @narendramodi @narendramodi_in @DrSJaishankar @rajnathsingh @RajnathSingh_in @AmitShah @MEAIndia @MOS_MEA @indiannavy @IndiannavyMedia @IndEmbDoha @IndianDiplomacy
This piece by India's Brahma Chellaney in The Hill is a stark reminder that Indian policy makers and so-called intellectuals are unable to digest Pakistan's diplomatic rise. The piece opens with a premise so reductive it collapses under minimal scrunity. Equating Pakistan and Iran because both are “Islamic republics” is a contrived framing designed to force a false symmetry. Fact: Pakistan is a declared nuclear power with a known deterrence doctrine, embedded in global frameworks while Iran’s nuclear file has been marked by persistent international concern. Flattening these distinctions to score a rhetorical point is intellectually unserious and deliberate misrepresentation. The article then slips into a familiar, selective indictment of Pakistan, recycling “terrorist proxies” trope while airbrushing out decades of counterterrorism cooperation, internal operations and heavy costs borne by Pakistan. This is not omission by accident. It is narrative engineering by Chellaney. Even the A.Q. Khan episode is weaponised without context. The piece is a one-dimensional caricature meant to indict rather than inform. What truly undermines it is that it reads like a polemic laced with bias, using loaded language and selective facts to malign Pakistan while propping up a shaky comparison with Iran. In the end, it says far more about Chellaney’s own predispositions and biases than any supposed inconsistency in U.S. policy. thehill.com/opinion/nation…

Trump: The Prime Minister and the Field Marshal of Pakistan are great people. They are close to Iran, and they are trying to work something out, and they are being very successful in doing that.
