LETTER: This is about a Business Recorder editorial "Militant threat" carried by the newspaper on Sunday. The newspaper has concluded its argument by saying that "And all countries that have contributed to the Afghan peace process along with Pakistan must also tell India to stop interfering and Afghanistan to start cooperating. For as long as there is instability and unrest in any one country in South Asia, and it is fed by other countries in the same region, then none of them will remain safe or stable for long. So it is best to help Pakistan put out this fire, especially since it has done the most to fight it, before it consumes the whole neighbourhood."

That India under the BJP/RSS combine has been nursing ambitions to become a regional hegemony is a fact. It is quite evident that it is now seeking to harm or intimidate even countries such as Nepal and Bangladesh whom it perceives as vulnerable. New Delhi has been harbouring animosity towards all of its neghbours except Bhutan. The world community must take notice of India's growing belligerence against its neighbours. Its nefarious designs need to be censured or condemned at all forums, including the United Nations.
