Gwadar unnerves India, hastens Chabahar

A select group of Pak navy veterans who also dwell in inter-state relations with focus on regional issues, smell a rat in Modi's government's recent keenness to operationalise Chabahar Port as a move to achieve something much more than the declared economic objectives as if it were a reaction to Pakistan's fast-track development on Gwadar project.

According to these veterans, who opted for not being named, the Gwadar Port's operationalisation will not only bring massive economic benefits to Pakistan besides making the port a hub of oil trade, Gwadar is being perceived by Indian armed forces, especially its navy, as a strong 'lever of blockade — strategic in particular — in the hands of Pakistan.

The Navy veterans told The News that previously New Delhi has been demonstrating complete non-seriousness about developing Chabahar Port since the project was initially visualized two decades ago.

Apparently, India is presenting a best-friend facade to Iran and posing as if Chabahar is more beneficial to Iran than itself (India) but if one keeps in mind India's track record, the real goals and objectives of India may get exposed sooner or later, opine these circles.

These veterans are confident that Iran being a vibrant Islamic country that is making strides in many fields, apart from being a next-door neighbor, understands the security concerns of Pakistan and would watch against anything turning into a new regional conflict.

Discussing more parts of their India-Iran honeymoon analysis, The News was further told that in the matter of Kul Bhushan Yadav, India mischievously tricked Iran and attempted to affect its relations with Pakistan.

The said circles also raised questions "How can Teheran afford to overlook India's vote at the IAEA?". Will a "realist" Iran opt for the long-term benefits of mutual cooperation? And what about India's new found bonhomie with USA which seems somewhat like a 'diabolic axis' (sic)? And then, at the same time, India is deepening its engagement with Israel but also shrewdly engaging the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council that have something to do with double-edged Indian strategy vis-à-vis Iran.

India will only cares about their own interests .And bilateral relation with Iran is so important to us and that is why we maintained a good relation with Iran even during sanctions .

Chabhar port will help to develop Afghanistan and entire region.

Chahbar port were to be used for Agents import & export. That plan failed with Kul Bhushan Yadav's arrest.

What does Yadav's arrest have to do with Afghan imports/exports?

Poor Indians, always worrying about neighbours, Maybe they should also worry about the 300 million fellow Indians starving to death as well, 12000 have committed suicide in recent years.

Don't you guys see that there is competition going on with China.
Must build Chabahar post now!
The Indian petroleum minister wooed Iran by projecting likely investment of the private sector of up to $20 billion & expressed interest in setting up an LNG plant and a gas cracker too.
(PS: "Now" is in Indian time.)


Let's please leave the Indians for a moment.What if, there is a third force that is pissed off.That really couldn't digest the Chinese gaining some momentum via Gawadar and in reality couldn't express it but, their geopolitical stance and actions are probably making it evident if you follow it?
Only in that case i can see some acceleration in the development of Chabahar.

I'm loving their passive-aggressive response to how the things are turning out to be. One step at a time.
For them it's a game , the my camp or his camp mentality.


Quoting from the article:

How can Tehran afford to overlook India’s vote at the IAEA? Will a ‘realist Iran opt for the long-term benefits of mutual cooperation?--------- And then, at the same time, India is deepening its engagement with Israel but also shrewdly engaging the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council that have something to do with double-edged Indian strategy vis-à-vis Iran.

/\/\/\ Any nation should keep her option open & Indians are smart as they'll like to keep other options on the table.That is how things are done and states interact.Remember that this is not a love affair.

However the things turn out to be ,any development in Iran is going to benefit our neighbor Iran and a healthy competition (if they think this is what it is) keeps you alive.

thats what article is saying, isnt it?
India's interest is whatever may hurt Pakistan!!

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

Many Pakistanis are overreacting; Chabahar and Gwadar were made for completely different things.
