Defence Minister Rajnath Singh raised concerns regarding Pakistan’s future stability during the launch of MJ Akbar’s book, asserting that India’s transformative policy reforms position it to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030. He highlighted the contrast between India’s upward trajectory and Pakistan’s uncertain state, suggesting that global recognition of Pakistan as a “jelly state” reflects its instability. Singh emphasized that India’s economic growth, projected at $7.3 trillion, is a result of eleven years of dedicated reform efforts. This commentary underscores the broader geopolitical context, where India’s stability and economic prowess may enhance its influence in South Asia amid Pakistan’s ongoing challenges.
