New Delhi : The Modi government seems to be on the backfoot regarding many important decisions in its third term. Amid the demand for re-implementation of the old pension, the government has recently introduced the Unified Pension Scheme. The government had also withdrawn its decision on the issue of lateral entry. The Wakf Amendment Act was also sent to the parliamentary committee. Meanwhile, there is a lot of discussion on social media about the meeting of American diplomats with the opponents of the Modi government. Retired Army Brigadier V. Mahalingam has raised questions about the meeting of American diplomats with opposition leaders.
US minister meets Omar Abdullah in Srinagar
The retired military officer wrote in his tweet on the social media platform X that US diplomats, including US Minister-Counselor for Political Affairs Graham Meyer, First Secretary Gary Applegarth and Political Advisor Abhiram, met National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah at the Gupkar residence in Srinagar on August 26. The National Conference leader is said to have asked the US diplomats to ease the travel advisory issued by the US for Jammu and Kashmir. Along with this, many issues related to Jammu and Kashmir and the region in general were discussed.
What is the intention behind this move?
Retired Brigadier V. Mahalingam said that after the second visit of US Consul General Jennifer Larson to the house of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi in Hyderabad earlier this month, why this visit to Srinagar? The retired military officer raised the question that why are US diplomats meeting opposition leaders in sensitive areas like Hyderabad and Srinagar? Were these meetings necessary? Is there any hidden motive behind these steps?
