India should have demanded – and received – an unconditional apology for the killing of three young Indian sailors in an American military strike.
Instead, Secretary Rubio reportedly chose to issue a warning, declaring that failure to comply with the orders of the U.S. military “will not be tolerated.” That is the language of command, not contrition.
There was no acknowledgement of the lives lost, no acceptance of responsibility, and no apology.
What makes the episode even more embarrassing was New Delhi’s response. Rather than calling the strike what it was, the External Affairs Minister merely observed that lethal actions against commercial shipping are “not justified.”
“Not justified”? That is the phrase you use for an overpriced airport sandwich, not for a military strike that kills civilians.
The appropriate words for America's actions are: illegal, reckless, and unacceptable. Instead, we got the kind of carefully sterilised euphemism that manages to offend no one – except the families of the dead.
IMPORTANT: NO empathy. NO regret. The US Secretary of State’s response to strikes that killed innocent Indian sailors only seeks to justify the attacks as a consequence of violating a US naval blockade. Targeting commercial ships is a blatant violation of international law. Summoning US diplomats is surely not enough. Time for GOI to show more than just a ‘laal aankh’, no? 😡 #IndianLivesMatter
Good Morning Shashi !
Now you have smelled coffee after the Kerala elections. When Modi surrendered under Trump's pressure, you gave him a free pass. When the opposition was demanding accountability on the trade deal & ceasefire, you chose to become Modi's brand ambassador around the globe. At times, you even persuaded others to remain silent under the garb of pseudo-patriotism. Now you are also speaking as a critic, should we try to shut you down for the sake of India's Global image?
ANI coverage of PM Modi's foreign trips..
Step 1 PM says bye bye to everyone in India while boarding a plane. No sounds. Cinematic music and shots.
Step 2 Watches Indian dance music programme of women abroad. Make sure there are white people performing too. Look serious and interested
Step 3 Ask NRIs to say how much they love Modiji and how fortunate they are to see their bhagwaan from motherland who has done so much development in India.
Step 4 Make sure no one hears him speak. EVER.Never show the press asking him questions. Mute videos. Edit. Edit. Edit.
The End.
US refuses to apologize for killing our citizens . Mr Laser eyes @DrSJaishankar issues a lame statement . Look at @marcorubio 's arrogance . And look at how this Govt wants us to believe that the world does not take a decision without consulting India . Before killing 3 Indians , the US fired a torpedo killing 100 Iranian sailors who were in the Indian Ocean returning from an event in India . Diplomacy has been so servile before .
अब लाल आँखें कौन दिखाएगा? क्या इसके बाद प्रधानमंत्री मोदी G7 की बैठक में जाएंगे? उन्हें बोल देना चाहिए कि इंडिया में राम मंदिर के चढ़ावे में डकैती हो गई है और नीट परीक्षा का पेपर लीक हो गया है, हम दोनों मॉनिटर कर रहे हैं, इसलिए G7 की बैठक में नहीं आएंगे। इस बयान के बाद कैसे जाएंगे?

Even USA couldn’t defend killing of 3 Indian nationals like Bagree did for USA.
For him it was a collateral damage & they themselves were responsible for it!!
This is BJP IT Cell. These are the real anti-nationals. Only BJP & Modi’s image matters to them.
I uploaded this video showing how Swati Bhonsale threw meat in Hindu area to create communal tension & frame Muslims but later got arrested
The Govt restricted the video in India citing that it violates local law
Plz watch the video & comment which law u think it broke?
