India's announcement to send troops to the Middle East to fight against the tyranny of the Islamic State could be made during US president Barack Obama's Republic Day visit.
India has decided to join the fight against the Islamic State that has been reigning terror in the middle-east, sources privy to the information have disclosed to Tehelka. The decision was taken by the Modi government during the Vibrant Gujarat summit after talks with the US secretary of state John Kerry. Recent reports stated that John Kerry was all praise for PM Modi and quoted him as saying that he was “very impressed with Vibrant Gujarat summit”. Now it is clear what the real reason behind all this bonhomie is.
PM Modi had said during the Vibrant Gujarat summit that all the countries in the world had to show that they were determined to fight terror in all forms while US Secretary of State had stated that the world had to take a pledge that no act of terror would make it give up freedom setting the tone for the big announcement to be made soon.
Sources added that a formal announcement could be made during the US president Barack Obama’s Republic Day visit. The Narendra Modi government favors India’s participation in the peace mission in Iraq and Syria. It has been a long-pending demand of the US for Indian armed forces to participate in such international missions in the conflict areas of the Middle East.
Incidentally, the UPA2 government had also mulled sending troops to Syria and Afghanistan but had wimped out fearing backlash from its Muslim voteabank. Hence the Congress-led government decided against sending Indian armed forces into these conflict areas. But with a new government at the helm and a new foreign policy, the pro-Nato stance conveys the change in the intent.
