Oman ke tat par ek Bharatiya naavik ki maut — samudri raaston ki suraksha ab kootneeti ki sabse badi praathmikta honi chahiye

Somvaar shaam Oman ke Limah ke paas Bharatiya jhande waale jahaz MSV Al Jusufi par ek 'aggyat hawaai cheez' giri. Jahaz par savaar 14 Bharatiya naavikon mein se Gujarat ke Gandhar Nahim Ajij ki maut ho gayi, baaki 13 ko Omani Coast Guard ne bachaaya. Videsh mantralaya ne hamle ki ninda ki hai aur samudri vyapar par hamle rokne ki apeel ki hai.

Yeh ghatna kisi ek jahaz tak seemit nahi hai. CBS News ke mutabik UKMTO ne October mein vyaapaarik jahazon par 30 hamle darj kiye — ab tak ka record. Laakhon Bharatiya naavik duniya bhar ke jahazon par kaam karte hain aur Khaadi ke raaste Bharat ki urja aapoorti ki reedh hain. Jab jang ke maidan mein samundar ki galiyaan bhi shaamil ho jaayein, to sabse pehle khatra inhi logon ko hota hai.

Isi beech America ne Qeshm Island par 'defensive' hamle kiye hain aur saath hi Iran ke saath baatcheet mein pragati ka daava bhi kar raha hai. Yeh do-dhaari raaj neeti samajh mein aati hai, lekin har nayi jhadap ka matlab hai samundar mein aur zyada anishchitata. Bharat ne G7 mein bhi naavikon ki suraksha ka mudda uthaya tha; ab zaroorat hai ki is awaaz ko thos kadmon mein badla jaaye — naval escort, beema aur crew ke liye spasht protocol, aur madhyasthon ke saath sakriya samvaad.

Hamari raay mein Bharat ki kootneeti ka imtihaan yahi hai ki woh kisi paksh mein khade hue bina apne nagrikon ki suraksha kitni prabhavi dhang se sunishchit kar paata hai. Gandhar Ajij ke parivaar ke prati samvedna ke saath, sarkaar se yeh ummeed jaayaz hai ki survivors aur unke parivaaron ki madad mein koi deri na ho, aur aisi ghatnaon ki nishpaksh jaanch ki maang antarrashtriya manch par pukhta tareeke se rakhi jaaye.
