"Indian Diplomats More Confident In Modi Era": Former Envoy To NDTV

In strong comments on India's response to the 26/11 attacks and what has changed with the surgical strikes and the Balakot strike, former diplomat Ajay Bisaria has said New Delhi was over-reliant on diplomacy in 2008 and its responses in recent years have ensured that now has an answer to Pakistan's sub-conventional warfare. Speaking exclusively to NDTV on Tuesday, Mr Bisaria, who was the Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan when the Balakot airstrike was conducted in February 2019, also said Indian diplomats' confidence levels have changed because they have a clear mandate and confidence in the leadership.
