Taking a closer look at the events that have transpired in the Maldivian Archipelago, one has to wonder whether the “world’s largest democracy” has any kind of foreign policy at all. A secular, liberal, democratically-elected pro-India president was forced to resign from the presidency at gun-point by rogue police on a mutiny. All this happens in India’s backyard with the largest navy in the region fast asleep!
The Manmohan Singh government decides to congratulate the new president instead of standing by the democratically-elected Mohammed Anni Nasheed. What’s worse is that this coup is backed by Islamic fundamentalists in the country. The same fanatics vandalized Buddha statues in a museum in Male, the island-nation’s capital.
The impotent Congress-led Indian government is probably waiting for a Taliban-style government in the Maldives. A regime that will give free access to groups like the Lakhshar e Tayaba, so that terrorist attacks can be carried out in southern India!! Bravo Manmohan Singh!
