Claim
Past Track Two diplomacy efforts with Pakistan — Aman ki Asha, the Neemrana dialogue of November 1991, and post-Kargil talks — were each followed by attacks: the Mumbai blasts, the Parliament attack, and 26/11.
“याद है हमारे पास ट्रैक टू, ट्रैक थ्री, ये सब चीजें थीं, अमानी आशा जैसी घटनाएं, नवंबर 1991 में निमिराना, फिर मुंबई विस्फोट, कारगिल के बाद हमने ट्रैक टू किया, फिर संसद पर हमला हुआ, 26/11 की घटना हुई।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The individual events cited are all real — the Neemrana Track-II dialogue, Aman ki Asha, Kargil, and the three attacks — but the claim stitches them into a false chronological and causal pattern. Most decisively, Aman ki Asha was launched in January 2010, after the 1993 Mumbai blasts, the 2001 Parliament attack, and the November 2008 26/11 attacks, so it could not have been 'followed by' any of them. The Neemrana dialogue began in October 1991, not November 1991. Presenting genuine events in an impossible order to imply that peace efforts consistently invited attacks makes the overall claim misleading rather than simply inaccurate.
Evidence
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aman_ki_Asha Aman ki Asha was launched on 1 January 2010 by The Times of India and Pakistan's Jang Group — years AFTER the 1993 Mumbai blasts, 2001 Parliament attack, and 2008 26/11 attacks it is claimed to have preceded, making the 'peace effort followed by attack' framing chronologically impossible for it. ✓ reachable · archived
