New Delhi: Rajya Sabha member Subramanian Swamy sought to advise the Union government on social media asking it to block ships bound for Karachi port if Pakistan closes its airspace for Indian aircraft.

Swamy's statement comes in the backdrop of reports that Pakistan is considering the closure of its air space for traffic from India. The Pakistan step came following the withdrawal of special category status to Jammu and Kashmir.




"My advice to Namo Govt: If Pak closes their airspace for our commercial and civilian aircraft, India should close Karachi port by blocking ships going through the Arabian Sea (which needs to be renamed) to Karachi port," tweeted Swamy.

On Tuesday, Pakistani Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry tweeted hinting at the probable closure of his country's airspace for India.

"PM is considering a complete closure of air space to India, a complete ban on the use of Pakistan land routes for Indian trade to Afghanistan was also suggested in the cabinet meeting... legal formalities for these decisions are under consideration... Modi has started, we'll finish!," tweeted Fawad Chaudhry.

Following the Balakot airstrikes early this year, Pakistan had closed its airspace for Indian traffic from February 26 till it was fully reopened on July 16. Nearly 84,000 flights had been affected during this period of 140 days. India had said that 600 flights per day were impacted due to the closure of Pakistani airspace during this period.

How can India block ships to Karachi when any ship for Karachi do not come to our territory at all? Karachi port is at a distance from Indian territorial water...
Swamy ji has some brilliant idea, please explain what he is trying to say here..

Subramniyam should announce VirChakar for those Pakistanis, who are actually having the airspace open for Indians in such a situation.
you know me, I am in favor of war..

But closing airspace will disturb them in the short term.. later on, they will increase the price of tickets and customers will bear the cost of fuel rather than the carriers.

If we only ban our airspace on Indian owned carriers, then Indian airlines will lose on the competition with foreign counterparts. However, Indian authorities can impose a new tax on foreign airlines to bring the price of their tickets at par with Indian owned carriers.

I don't see the benefit of this strategy for more than three months to be honest.

What do you think?
