Loss Of Face As Far As Diplomacy Is Concerned: Sinha
The Morning Standard
|May 15, 2025
INDIA has suffered some major diplomatic losses during the India-Pakistan conflict and one of them was the 'internationalisation of Kashmir and the efforts to hyphenate the two by other countries, said former External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha.
In a conversation with this newspaper, Sinha said, "Our diplomacy has taken a hit as Pakistan has not been condemned by any countries" for sponsoring cross-border terrorism against India and being responsible for the killing of 26 innocents in the Pahalgam attack.
Sinha, who served as a minister in the Vajpayee government from 2002-2004, said during the Kargil war, the entire world supported India. Quoting an interview of Vajpayee, Sinha said that Vajpayee turned down an invitation by Washington during the Kargil war.
