India’s chances look really bleak in an attempt to procure a permanent seat in the Security Council at the UN. If you remember, India is a part of the G4 countries (Germany, Japan, Brazil & India) which are lobbying for the seats and each one of them is facing stiff opposition from their neighbours. Pakistan, of course is opposing this move.
But I strongly support India’s candidature, not simply because I am an Indian but India has played an active role in the UN eversince it was born (India was one of the founding fathers) or be it the various peacekeeping missions that she undertook for the organisation. Also it’s logical to make the world’s second most populated and the fastest growing economy to be in the global state of affairs.
It surprised me to no limit today when I read that US has rubbished the G4 nominations. The confusion prevails as Africa now wants a bigger share in the pie. Whats the basis of being elected as a permamanent member? Let’s get that right first. And if India does get the seat then it should be with the veto powers and not just the seat itself. No arguments about that.
