‘Silent foreign policy’: SP chief Akhilesh Yadav urges nations to foster peace amid global unrest | India News

NEW DELHI: In light of recent unrest in Bangladesh and a series of violent mass revolutions, military coups, and anti-government movements worldwide, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has called for nations to prioritise the protection of their citizens and promote harmony. Yadav stressed the importance of positive human thinking and the duty of civilized societies to safeguard individuals, regardless of their location or circumstances.
“It is the duty of every country to protect its country and its citizens.On the basis of positive human thinking, it is also the human duty of every civilised society to protect every resident and neighbor as an individual, no matter where he is, in any time, place or situation,” Yadav said.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Yadav reflected on world history and noted the occurrence of violent revolutions and movements against governments for various reasons. He said that societies that thrive during turbulent times are those that adopt a positive and inclusive approach.

“World history is a witness that in different countries, violent mass revolutions, military coups, and anti-government movements have taken place against the government for various reasons, right or wrong, depending on the test of the time. In such a situation, only that country has been revived, whose society, even in that turbulent time of powerlessness, has considered and protected everyone equally with a positive and broad thinking, without discriminating on the basis of birth, religion, ideology, majority or minority of the population or any other political animosity or negative, narrow thinking, in protecting the lives, property and honour of its citizens,” he said.
Yadav further stressed the adverse effects of foreign interference in a nation’s internal affairs, stating, “One thing that needs to be specifically highlighted is that history also teaches that any power that uses the political situation of another country to fulfil its own political designs, weakens the country both internally and externally.”
He advocated for countries to employ “silent foreign policy” and work with the international community to find meaningful solutions, warning that a government remaining passive during such crises reflects a failure in foreign policy.
“Many times, interference by any other country at a single level in the internal matters of a country is not considered appropriate on global diplomatic standards, but in such a case, for the all-round protection of the affected country and its culturally related people, that country should activate its silent foreign policy and take courageous and positive vocal initiatives in collaboration with the world community, so that meaningful solutions can be found.”
