A top official of India’s second India’s second largest political party called again today for a change in India’s foreign policy toward the Arab states and for recognition of Israel.

Balraj Madhok, general secretary of the Bharatiya Jansangh Party, told a press conference at Anmedabad also that Israel was the strongest and most democratic country “in west Asia.” He said that if Egypt could have diplomatic relations with “India’s enemy, Pakistan and India at the same time,” there was no reason why India could not have relations simultaneously with the Arab countries and Israel.
