Modi Government’s Diplomatic Paralysis Hands Strategic Victory to Pakistan in Iran-US Ceasefire

Press Statement

Modi Government’s Diplomatic Paralysis Hands Strategic Victory to Pakistan in Iran-US Ceasefire

Date: April 8, 2026
The announcement of a ceasefire in the Iran-Israel-US conflict has laid bare a shocking and unacceptable truth: India, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has become diplomatically irrelevant at a time of global crisis.

While world powers moved swiftly to shape the outcome of a dangerous geopolitical confrontation, India stood silent, directionless, and absent. This vacuum of leadership has allowed Pakistan—despite its limited global credibility—to step in and project itself as a facilitator, grabbing international attention and credit that India rightfully deserved.

This is not just a missed opportunity; it is a national embarrassment.

India has deep-rooted strategic, economic, and civilizational ties across West Asia. With strong relations with Iran, Israel, and the United States, India was uniquely positioned to act as a stabilizing force and a credible mediator. Instead, the Modi government chose inaction, exposing a dangerous lack of foresight, preparedness, and diplomatic will.

The consequences of this failure are severe and far-reaching:

  • Global Humiliation: India’s claim of being a rising superpower stands hollow as it fails to influence even critical regional developments.

  • Pakistan’s Opportunism Rewarded: A country with a questionable global record has outmaneuvered India diplomatically.

  • Risk to Indian Lives: Millions of Indians living and working in West Asia are left vulnerable due to India’s weak engagement.

  • Energy and Economic Risks: India’s vital energy security is directly linked to stability in the region—yet the government failed to act when it mattered most.

  • Erosion of Strategic Trust: Allies may begin to question India’s reliability as a serious geopolitical player.

Prime Minister Modi’s foreign policy has increasingly become a spectacle-driven exercise focused on optics rather than substance. Grand events and photo opportunities cannot substitute for real diplomatic leadership during times of crisis.

India’s silence in this critical moment is not neutrality—it is negligence.

The nation deserves a foreign policy that is proactive, assertive, and rooted in national interest—not one that allows adversaries to fill the void created by government inaction.

It is imperative that the Government of India immediately reassesses its diplomatic strategy, strengthens institutional decision-making, and ensures that India never again loses its voice on the global stage.

India must lead—not watch from the sidelines.

India-US Trade Agreement will fuel Agrarian Crisis - Kishore Tiwari

India-US Trade Agreement will fuel Agrarian Crisis - Kishore Tiwari

Date-11 Feb 2026

The white  office has issued an interim draft for the US-India trade agreement, which will adversely affect about 12 million farmers in suicide-hit Vidarbha, Marathwada and North Maharashtra in Maharashtra. the claim Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal that the interests of farmers are protected by the US-India trade agreement has termed to be hoax , and will lead to a fall in the prices of cotton, soybean and other oilseeds. Kishore Tiwari, an activist working among cotton farmers in Vidarbha, has expressed his fear.

Duty-free cotton import agreement will increase suicides of cotton farmers in Maharashtra

The proposed trade have allowed the duty free import of long staple cotton produced from US will adversly effect the 12 million cototn farmers  in Vidarbha Marathwada.India currently imposes an 11% duty on cotton imports and will fuel  ongoing  agricultural crisis, Kishor Tiwari has demanded a ban on duty free cotton imports, citing concerns that allowing duty-free imports from the US, the world's largest cototn fiber exporter, could put pressure on domestic prices.

Duty-free import of Soybean oil from the US is against interest of Oilseed Producers in Maharashtra

Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are major cotton seed ,soybean and groundnut oilseed producing states, but productivity in these states is significantly lower than in the US and farmers who are already struggling due to palm oil imports will be in trouble due to this agreement. If oil imports from the US increase, domestic oilseed processing industries and soybean producers will suffer losses, so it is time for the US and India to cancel the trade agreement.

Duty free  import of Ethylene-containing Distillers' Dry Grain Solubles (DDGS) is Unwarnted 

The supply of Ethylene-containing Distillers' Dry Grain Solubles (DDGS) in the country is needless as Ethanol producers in India - already struggling with idle capacity and demand declining after the country reached its 20% biofuel blend target - may get less income from selling DDGS in the domestic market.US and India India has put aside the interests of farmers in the trade deal with the US because India already has a surplus supply of DDGS, and duty free import of  soyabean oil will act adversly to india's  oilseed cultivation and implemented a program to curb edibal oil imports, Kishor Tiwari has demanded to scrap US and India  trade deal.
