50 per cent Indians do not adore Modi’s Pakistan policy: Pew Survey

“As reported, however, more than half of BJP supporters (54 per cent) and a plurality of Congress party adherents (45 per cent) do not approve of the prime minister’s handling of relations with Pakistan,”. In the handling of China, supporters of Modi’s own party, the BJP, are more likely than adherents of the Congress party to favor his conduct of bilateral relations. Pew said Indians are ready to support more defence spending.

Across party lines, more than six-in-ten (63 per cent) think the country should increase spending on national defence, just six per cent want to decrease it and 20 per cent want to keep it as now.
