NEW DELHI: Underlining that the political crisis in Maldives poses a threat to India’s security, senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha today urged the Government to act immediately and said it should not remain a “mute spectator” with China strengthening its presence in the island nation.
Speaking to reporters at his residence in Uttar Pradesh’s Noida, Sinha said the Indian Government has diplomatic options, non-diplomatic options and it must exercise those in order to ensure India’s security is not threatened amid the crisis in Maldives.
Sinha, expressing his views on behalf of the Rashtra Manch — a new political platform he launched last month, said that the impression till now has been that “things have been allowed to drift”.
He urged the Government to act as it was the “best judge” of the situation and that every hour now was “precious”. (AGENCIES)
