The Modi government, which once claimed to take a strong stance against China and Pakistan, has now made a shocking compromise on national security. In a major decision, the Ministry of Defense relaxed critical security protocols to allocate 445 sq. km of land near the Pakistan border to Adani Group for the Khavda Renewable Energy Project. A report by The Guardian has revealed that these security exemptions were made solely to benefit Adani. Previously, Indian defense policies prohibited any large-scale construction within 10 km of the Pakistan border. However, in 2023, the Modi government altered this rule, allowing Adani to establish the world’s largest renewable energy plant, just 1 km from Pakistan. Military experts have raised serious concerns over this decision, stating that such a large infrastructure project so close to the border poses a major strategic risk. Retired Colonel Ajai Shukla criticized this move, calling it "a strategic blunder" that could compromise India's security in case of future conflicts. Meanwhile, Adani is facing legal troubles in the US over allegations of a multi-million dollar bribery scheme related to the Khavda project. Interestingly, just days before PM Modi’s US visit, former President Donald Trump signed an executive order delaying the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, under which Adani was being investigated.
