"Worse, it now turns out that
Rathore wasn't just another motormouth in the Modi sarkar who made incautious statements without sanction.Nothing that Rathore shared with the media was a coincidence. He was part of a deliberate PR effort on the part of the government to claim political credit for the military operation."
"Unfortunately,
the move backfired. The
careful diplomatic groundwork laid by Indian officials with Myanmar to make the raid possible turned to naught in the chest-beating that followed afterwards.
The Indian government is now in the postion of being publicly contradicted by its own ally -- even as Indian officials
have been instructed to convey their gratitude to Myanmar for its cooperation."
"The resultant diplomatic furore has led to further backpedalling with the
Modi government telling its officials to tone it down."
"Simply decoded, it means that if the Indian Army wants to go into Myanmar the next time round,
it may not get a warm welcome from the Myanmar Army."
