Rahul Gandhi’s Old Speech on China-Pakistan Alliance Goes Viral Amid Tensions

As regional tensions flare following India’s recent military actions and China’s vocal support for Pakistan, an old Lok Sabha speech by Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has gone viral on social media, drawing renewed attention to his stark warnings about Indian foreign policy.

In the 2022 parliamentary address, Rahul Gandhi had sharply criticized the Modi government’s handling of external affairs, emphasizing that India’s most important strategic objective should be to prevent a China-Pakistan alliance.

“The single biggest strategic goal of Indian foreign policy should be to keep Pakistan and China apart,” Gandhi had said. “If you allow them to come together, it will be the biggest crime against the people of India.”

China’s Support for Pakistan:

Rahul Gandhi’s remarks have gained fresh relevance in light of China’s diplomatic and moral support for Pakistan during the latest wave of cross-border tensions. The alignment between the two neighbors has led analysts to revisit Gandhi’s earlier prediction about a “dangerous front” forming against India if diplomatic caution is not exercised.

Political Reactions:

While the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has often accused Rahul Gandhi of being soft on China and Pakistan, Congress supporters are now using the speech as evidence that he had long warned of the geopolitical fallout of Modi’s foreign policy moves.

The resurfaced speech is being widely shared on Indian and Pakistani platforms as “proof of foresight”, particularly in the wake of Indian aggression that has drawn harsh condemnation from Islamabad and supportive statements from Beijing.

Regional Dynamics:

The growing China-Pakistan strategic cooperation, including military, economic, and diplomatic coordination, has become a cause of concern for New Delhi. India’s recent airstrikes and subsequent Pakistani military responses have heightened fears of broader instability in the region.

Gandhi’s caution against “underestimating the power standing in front of you” now echoes louder as India faces what appears to be coordinated resistance from both its nuclear-armed neighbors.
