Washington: More than three-fifth of Indians support use of military force to defeat the scourge of terrorism, according to a latest Pew Survey released yesterday which said that about half of the respondents disapprove of Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s Pakistan policy.
&ldquo;With roughly half (52%) the Indian public worried that ISIS poses a major threat to their country, about six-in-ten Indians (62%) believe that overwhelming military force is the best way to defeat terrorism around the world. Just 21% say that relying too much on such force creates hatred that leads to more terrorism,&rdquo; said Pew Research Center in its report.
Disapprove PM&rsquo;s Pak policy While 68% of the respondents feel that India is playing a more important role in the world than it was doing 10 years ago, the Pew Research Center in its annual survey, which was conducted among 2,464 respondents from April 7 to May 24, said half of the respondents disapprove of Modi&rsquo;s management of India&rsquo;s volatile relationship with Pakistan. His Pakistan policy is approved by just 22 %, said the survey which was conducted in the months after the terrorist attack at the Pathankot Air Force base coming from across the border. &ldquo;Notably, however, more than half of BJP supporters (54%) and a plurality of Congress party adherents (45%) disapprove of Modi&rsquo;s handling of relations with Pakistan,&rdquo; the report said.
PM&rsquo;s approval rating at 87% The survey said that Modi continues to ride a wave of good feeling (81%) about the way things are going in India, the state of the domestic economy and his own stewardship of the country. In 2015 Pew Survey, Modi&rsquo;s approval rating was 87%. Modi&rsquo;s favorable rating of 81% is followed by that of Sonia Gandhi (67%), Rahul Gandhi (63%) and Arvind Kejriwal (50%).
Modi has the lowest unfavorability rating of 16% followed by Arvind Kejriwal (27%), Sonia Gandhi (31%) and Rahul Gandhi (32%). In 2015 and 2016, his lowest approval rating (53%) was for his handling of communal relations.
