............."The risk of bonding with Israel on the security front is enormous. And the raison d’etre of the bonding is highly debatable. Neither the Hezbollah nor the Hamas, neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor Islamic Jihad has ever harbored any hostility toward India.
Even during the peak of the insurgency in J&K in the 1990s, even after running a fine comb through the Valley, we never came across a trace of Hezbollah messing around in India. The then Prime Minister Narasimha Rao went on to hail Iran as a “factor of stability” in the region. Even the BJP stalwarts appreciated the thoughtful impulses behind Rao’s historic visit to Iran in 1993."
