Washington: The US intelligence department has presented a report to the US Parliament. The report also mentions India’s relations with China and Pakistan. The report said that the Modi government is more likely than ever to respond to Pakistani provocations with military force. That is why he should not make the mistake of teasing India. Not only this, the report says that relations between India and China will remain strained. A US intelligence report has said that the growing tension between two nuclear-armed countries, India and Pakistan, is a matter of concern. A ceasefire on the border was announced by India and Pakistan in 2021. It means that both the countries are eager to strengthen the existing peace in their relations. However, Pakistan has a long history of supporting anti-India extremist groups, the report said. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Pakistan’s provocations are more likely than ever to respond with military force. A major war between the two sides is more likely in the event of rising tensions and unrest in Kashmir or another terrorist attack in India. The report said that bilateral border talks were held between India and China and tensions on several border issues were defused. But violent clashes in 2020 strained relations between the two countries. The deployment of forces by both countries at the disputed site raises the armed threat between the two nuclear powers over the border dispute. Past skirmishes have shown that frequent small skirmishes on the border can escalate into major battles. On June 2020, there was a violent clash between Indian and Chinese forces in Galwan. During this, 20 Indian soldiers were martyred.
