Thiruvananthapuram, May 10: Indian Union Muslim
League today expressed "deep concern" over the idea of
India-US-Israel axis to combat terrorism reportedly mooted by
national security advisor Brijesh Mishra.
Reacting to reports in this regard, IUML general
secretary E Ahmed, MP, said the proposal mooted by Mishra ran
contrary to the stand "time and again" stated by the Vajpayee
government that it would have no military or security tie-up
whatsoever with Israel.
"I have conveyed my personal and my party's concern in
this regard to External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha. He
appreciated my feelings and promised to convey them to the
Prime Minister," Ahmed said.
Ahmed said it was not for the national security advisor
but the Prime Minister to spell out when some serious
departure in foreign policy is contemplated as they were
accountable to Parliament.
"Mishra's statement has sent wrong signals not only to a
sizeable section of Indian people but also to the Arab
countries with whom India always had extremely good
relations," the league leader added.
