Pakistan Received a Clear Message
From the video and the entire episode, Pakistan has received a clear message that India and its allied countries will show no leniency on the issue of terrorism henceforth. It will become difficult for Pakistan to gain respect on international platforms without taking action against terrorism.
India's Growing Diplomatic Strength
This move by PM Modi also signifies India's growing diplomatic strength. India is now in a b position not only regionally but also on the global stage. India's relations with China, Russia, and Central Asian countries are continuously strengthening, while Pakistan is being repeatedly sidelined.
Following the emergence of the video, a debate has erupted on social media. People are saying that this move by PM Modi and Putin is a b message to Pakistan. Many users have called it a diplomatic victory for India.
