Ek CPEC kya aagya loans waala itna uchaal rahe ho tum log bht Dino se.
Kuch aur aajaega bada toh sabko dabake rakhoge. I ain't against Pakistan developing but against your bs rants that we are jealous.
Lol please this is for every Pakistani, we aren't jealous.
Only thing which bothers us that it passes through your occupational Kashmir which is legally claimed by India and even I don't have any problem when you guys are minting money out of there unless you stop using all and gilgit for sending terrorists in here.

Based on information that Pakistan-based militant groups are tapping into Rohingya radicalisation, India has told Myanmar that this is a “ticking bomb” that represents a “major security threat” to the “region in general, and India, Bangladesh and Myanmar in particular”.

Delhi conveyed this message to Myanmar’s new national security adviser, U Thuang Tun, who was on his maiden visit to India last week, top official sources have told Hindustan Times. The NSA met his counterpart, NSA Ajit Doval, as well as officials of ministry of external affairs and defence ministries.

Even as the western countries, the international human rights community, and Islamic countries have made the treatment of Rohingyas a central concern in their engagement with the Myanmarese regime, India has preferred to be restrained and discreet, given the sensitivities of both the military and Aung San Suu Kyi on the issue.

With a new bout of violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state from last year, the issue has assumed a new salience.


A top official told HT that India has adequate intelligence to confirm the role of Lashkar-e-Taiba, operating first through its “so-called charitable avatar and then through frontmen” in the Rakhine state.

The estimated 1 million Rohingya face discrimination in Myanmar. Most do not have citizenship and are regarded as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Communal violence in 2012 forced many of them to flee their homes, and more than 100,000 still live in refugee camps.

“We told the NSA that this issue is a major threat. Rohingya radicals are being abetted by Lashkar. This will have consequences for the region. And we have advised them to find a political solution to the issue soon”. India believes that while security measures are necessary, only a crackdown would be “counter-productive”.

Back in 2012-13, India had first suspected active Lashkar involvement based on inputs from the Bangladesh government - and there was suspicion that the group had a role behind blasts in Bodh Gaya. Hafiz Saeed had publicly accused India of aiding the Myanmar regime in its persecution of Rohingyas.

A career diplomat who made India his first port of call, MEA had said in a statement that the NSA U Thuang Tun was ‘expected to advise the Myanmar government on internal and external threats by assessing situations from a strategic point of view’, and that India looked forward to a productive association with him.

If Kashmir legally belongs to India on the grounds of Instrument of accession then Junagadh legally belongs to Pakistan on the grounds of Instrumentssion. Go read up on it before getting emotional here.

I ain't getting emotional.
Pakistan got enough for their betrayal with the sub continent in 1947.
How much land you guys want for 200 million folks? I love Pakistan but not this hatred bro.
We should stop shouldn't we?

Well at least that's one Indian admitting it. Most Indians here say that India is not obsessed with Pakistan at all and that it has bigger goals blah blah blah.

It's good to know that CPEC and JF17 deal pains India. They will both go through as planned. Whatever Randi rona might occur it wouldnt change a thing.

Hmm...unusual timing to make such a call even given the sensitive nature. But nonetheless, quite significant!

Yes, there is a possible issue of radicalization among the Rohingyas. It is suspected that some unknown entities have infiltrated them. Last year, a police station was attacked in the state of Rakhine which left 9 officers dead - Allegedly by Rohingyas. Their objective was the armory. I doubt they found the missing weapons during the recent crackdown.

It would be unusual that a small Pakistan-based militant group would be able to infiltrate them. Pakistan do not share borders with Burma. I do not think LeT have the resources to get there either.

If something is behind fueling the radicalization, it should be something more, or neighboring. Perhaps coming from militants based in Bangladesh or India. If something more, we will be in very deep trouble.

if you read some of the jf-17 threads some Pakistani members think they can boost Pakistan's influence by selling JF-17s around the world

I think most of them mean it as in the long term(at least that's how I mean it). Kinda like how u see US using its military equipment as a leverage on the countries that rely on it heavily. It'll take a long time for Pak to get there. Developing indigenous capabilities and securing export orders for them is the first step in that long journey.

Myanmar has been oppressing Rohingya Muslims for some time now and it's only a matter of time before they rise up and take arms to defend themselves or take revenge for the injustices. It's in human nature. Using this opportunity India is just trying to malign Pakistan and muddy the relations between Pak and Myanmar.
