India turns down Barak request to make official visit

.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak sought to visit military expo in New Delhi to symbolize close Israel-India ties; request denied by Indian Defense Ministry due to domestic political sensitivities.
The government of India recently turned down a request by Defense Minister Ehud Barak to make an official work visit to that country. A senior Israeli official said that the Indians cited domestic political sensitivities and were not interested in high-profile visits by Israeli officials at this time.
The spokesperson for the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi, David Goldfarb, would not comment on the matter and referred inquiries to Barak's office. Barak's office also declined to comment.
The India Express newspaper reported on the matter for the first time on Wednesday morning. According to the report, Barak wanted to visit the Defexpo exhibition which opened in New Delhi on March 29 and was organized by the Indian Defense Ministry.
The Israeli pavilion was the largest at the exhibition and included close to 20 Israeli defense companies. Many representatives from Israel's Defense Ministry and security industry attended the exhibition and displayed their products. Israel wanted Barak tovisit the exhibition in order to symbolize the close cooperation between Israel and India.
India's Defense Ministry was concerned by Israel's request and turned it down because it felt that visits to India by senior Israeli officials like Barak could produce tensions within the country and spark criticism fromIndia's large Muslim community.
After an examination of Barak's visit request, it was Indian Defense Minister A K Antony who made the decision to keep security ties with Israel low-profile and deny the request. The India Express reported that the denial of the request by Antony was done without consultation with the Indian Foreign Ministry, which in the past year has been trying to enhance India's relationship with Israel and make that relationship more visible and public.
Indian Foreign Minister S M Krishna visited Israel in January, the first by an Indian foreign minister in 11 years. During two decades of relations between the countries, visits by Indian officials have not been common.An Indian prime minister has never visited Israel. The current Indian defense minister has alsonever visited Israel, despite the dramatic growth of military ties between the two countries.
Israel and India maintain tight security and intelligence ties. India purchases from Israel a wide array of advanced military technologies. In fact, in recent years Israel has surpassed Russiaas India's second largest weapons supplier. Israel sells to India aerial defense systems, missiles, and spy planes, and upgrades old Russian tanks and planes used by the Indian military.

One of the main reason i hate this sickular congress party is that they have severely damaged our valuable relationship with israel playing their cheap political games over serious issues like our national security and international relation hope in the next election they are kicked out and bjp will be able to repair this damage

We should not have any problem with Israel defense minister visiting India.

Some retards on our top brass. :hitwall:

To All
Why are we abusing Congress, They can sell there daughter and mother for Vote. And most importantly Indo-Israel relation is Creation of Brajesh-Bajpai-Jacob. Lt Jacob (The architect of Dhaka Fall) was Governor of Goa, Bajpai summon him and asked to work on Indo-Israel relation.

Still Jacob's House is important place for Israeli Diplomats, It is said that India visit is not complete without meeting him. Since when "Daughter seller" Kongress worried about Nation Interest? Salman Khursheed and Ahmed Patel are main culprit. They are behind Muslim reservation, Salman Rushdi issue and this issue.


Ahmed Patel is big SPOON of Sonia family, He wants Gujrat's CM post and want to promote his son. This year end he will face defeat by NaMo, and 2014 by NaMo.

hope ppp rules your country for another 1000 years

most of the members here are just kids in politics. Israel is worth for nothing. it wasn't even supplying defence arms to India till Cold War, till late 90s. India may hardly get AWACS, which it has got, and support in missile defence, which India has already shared with Israel and now India would simply kick Israel. for last 4-5 years, US is again having its attitude it had till Cold War. there is no meaning to cheat ourselves and we would accept that US/West will never accept India as a 'successful' country. more the space they will get in India, more they will try to destroy Indian prospects to get progress in future. even right now, they first try to force India on NPT while grouping in NSG. we can't ignore a bottom line truth that longer US/West are engaged with other countries, more space India will have to get progress without any western interference. even if China may copy every techs of US and make those products for very cheap cost, it will finally benefit Indian companies if they will also do research on those techs otherwise US will simply not let other countries have high techs. we are aware of all the threats from China but the enormous benefits associated with Chinese progress can't also be ignored. India just has to defend itself from China and get all the benefits out of a successful China.

if Israel may be brought on the position of a war, for example, it will then ease pressure from BRICS to defend its allies in middle east like Iran, Syria etc. we will not let NATO/US win any more war and they gotto be resisted with their intentions with every possible efforts. Indian government is 'correct' to kick Israel right now. may be we will again invite them in future when enviornment of the world will be little easy and Israel will have got any new defence techs to share with India, but right now we dont want them :wave:

There is one fundamental Indian policy which is that India should not be unfriendly with any major power center.

I think Barak should have been welcomed because Israel has been friendly to India. The Jewish diaspora is also a factor that should not be ignored.

Hopefully the next government will take corrective steps.

you people aren't getting the point. Indian diplomats now understand that no matter how much we bomb on Turkey and SA, it will hardly affect health of US/West. But the time we bring Israel in the position of elimination, it will really mean for it to US/West :agree:. And right now a war has been plotted and it has been confirmed, who will be the first target if lions of US/West will lose their mental balance and think for any open war. Israel is set to be removed in case of any open war in gulf :meeting:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I mean to say to Mr Bill Clinton, no matter how much he proud on the pu$$y of Hillary, her men simply can’t think for an open war other than organizing different bomb blasts and attacks in different parts of the world. her pu$$y simply doesn’t have that strength to lead US/West for any open war any where in this world, :no:, other than discussing bluffs of right and wrong and organising different bomb blasts and attacks somewhere in this world. whatever humiliation they received till now, they would prefer to live with that otherwise West will then be brought to the point from where they will neither be able to fight nor run also. pigs are those certain people who can’t make difference between right and wrong until they receive this type of special treatments, for what we are helpless on our side. :meeting:

And rest, women like Ms Julia Gillard aren't worth for more than 70-80 pounds, like how British MPs have prostitute wives :wave:

A British MP's wife works as a prostitute charging £70 "for oral sex without a condom followed by full sex with a condom", said a media report here.
