▶️ This is Moshe Dayan, the legendary Israeli war hero who wanted to destroy Pakistan's nuclear programme but was rebuffed by the Gandhian Morarji Desai.
▶️ In 1977, Dayan secretly visited India with a proposal to jointly attack Pakistan's nuclear facility at Kahuta. India and Israel did not have diplomatic ties, so the visit was arranged by RAW.
▶️ Since RAW was keen on this joint covert mission, Dayan was hopeful that his trip would yield a fruitful outcome.
▶️ However, the Israelis had underestimated the suicidal stupidity of India's seculars. Prime Minister Morarji Desai spurned Dayan’s request. Desai, a staunch Gandhian, said it was against India's principles to meddle in the internal affairs of neighbouring countries.
▶️ Dayan then said, "If you can't join us in the strike, we'll do it ourselves. Just give landing rights for Israeli aircraft in India." The mission would involve Israeli fighters flying from Indian bases to strike the Kahuta nuclear plant.
▶️ But Desai refused point blank. His refusal had significant consequences, allowing Pakistan’s nuclear programme to advance unimpeded and leading to setbacks for Indian intelligence operations in Pakistan.
▶️ Desai wasn't done harming India. Angered by RAW's secret talks with Dayan, he cut the agency's budget by 30% and shared sensitive intelligence about the nuclear programme at Kahuta with Pakistan’s military ruler Zia-ul-Haq.
▶️ RAW had gathered critical evidence of Pakistan’s nuclear ambitions, including radiation traces and blueprints, but Desai refused permission for sabotage operations. His decision weakened RAW’s operational capability and intelligence posture against Pakistan’s nuclear programme.
▶️ Due to Desai's betrayal, several Indian spies in Pakistan were caught, tortured and executed. That basically sums up Gandhian principles for you.
▶️ Currently, Pakistan has around 170 nuclear bombs - all deployed against India. You can thank Morarji Desai for this.
