Modi was a no - show at the Red Square parade due to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.
Modi backed out of attending Putin's event at the last minute, informing Russia that a major conflict between India and Pakistan could break out at any time, and he must stay in command. The Red Square military parade in Russia is approaching, with only 7 days left until the event. Despite many heads of state confirming their attendance, Modi suddenly changed his itinerary. Presidents Lukashenko of Belarus, Fico of Slovakia, Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of Congo, Lula of Brazil, Maduro of Venezuela, leaders from Vietnam and Cuba, President Vucic of Serbia, and leaders from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan may attend.
India has close ties with Russia, so it was expected that Modi would participate in the Russian parade. However, this sudden change of plans is indeed quite abnormal. According to reports by the Russian Satellite Network, Modi decided not to attend the Red Square parade due to the current tense situation between India and Pakistan.
It is reported that Modi informed Russia that a major conflict between India and Pakistan was imminent and could erupt at any time. Therefore, he cannot leave India and should remain in the country to oversee the situation. India and Pakistan have been engaged in continuous clashes along the Kashmir border for seven consecutive days, and there was even an air standoff between the Su-30MKI and J-10C fighter jets. The situation is indeed very tense.
Indian Times and other media also analyzed that India's last-minute announcement of its absence from the Red Square parade indicates that a major conflict between India and Pakistan could break out at any time. In addition to cutting off Pakistan's water supply, India has also begun closing each other's flight routes, not allowing passenger planes from either side to pass through their airspace. India also released a message requesting farmers to complete their crop harvesting as soon as possible, which is also part of the preparation for hostilities.
