"We will always support India in its fight against terrorism.
I believe Pakistan is taking immense steps to stabilise the situation in the country."
"We do not have any tight relations with Pakistan. The US, Do you have?," "
And for sure our relations with Pakistan have no impact on trade between India and Russia."
The moment i saw the title i was laughing knowing exactly how words of Mr. Putin will be twisted by indian Analysts to suit there own views of seeing things.
So basically what Mr. Putin is saying is we have normal relations with Paksitan and The extent of Relations we are having with Pakistan, India have no business criticizing it we are already an ally of India.
And the masterstroke was
Just because Russia has a "special relationship" with India, it does not mean India should be restricted in having contacts with other "partnering countries. This is ridiculous."
Read between the lines who can. If you can have partnership with our adversaries and we dont have a problem with it. You should do the same NM.
Putin is a master of diplomacy to be honest. Our ties with russia will grow stronger. And they are not dependent with Indian-Russian cooperation. And India should stop weaning and considering Russia a Begger of Indian Money from whom India will dictate whatever they want to.
And he clearly Refused to accept indian Narrative of Paksitan Kashmir and Terrorism.
Viva Comrade Putin
And to be very Frank I Personally have no issue with India-Russia Ties. International Relations are not Unilateral. India is a big Arms Purchaser from Russia and they need those weapons to defend there homeland Indians. Nothing wrong with it. Only Problem arises when annoying Indian Policy makers still drag there cold war bipolar mindset that ally of one cannot have any meaningfull relations with adversary of ally. Hypocrite Indians should bycott USA before asking for such annoying demands from Russia
