No sign of India resuming dialogue with Pakistan: PM Nawaz Sharif
109
ISLAMABAD: India has failed to respond to Pakistan's desire for good relations, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said, in a rare rebuke of India.
“Our desire for good neighbourly relations with India has not been reciprocated,” Nawaz told the Saudi Gazette in an interview during a recent visit.
Nawaz Sharif said his acceptance of an invitation last May to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's inauguration was “an exceptional decision”.
But months later, India withdrew from talks after Pakistan High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit met Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

The prime minister said that was a “frivolous pretext”.
“There is no sign of India desiring resumption of dialogue with us,” he said.
The prime minister said Pakistan was ready for “constructive dialogue for negotiated settlement of all issues, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir”.
Pakistan and India have fought three wars since 1947, two over the disputed Muslim-majority region of Kashmir which both claim in full but rule in part.
India says Pakistan arms militants fighting in Indian Kashmir. Pakistan denies that saying it offers political support to Kashmiris facing rights abuses at the hands of India's army.

India was angered this month when the Lahore High Court freed Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi on bail. Lakhvi was one of the accused in the 2008 terror attacks on Mumbai. India said the release “reinforced the perception that Pakistan has a dual policy on dealing with terrorists”.
Top diplomats from both countries met in Pakistan last month, after at least a dozen people were killed in a series of exchanges of fire along their disputed border, but there has been little sign of progress in ties.
Nawaz made improving relations with India a priority when he swept to power for a third time in the 2013 general elections, raising hopes that the democratic elections would strengthen the government.
A government insider said at the time Nawaz Sharif would stay in power but had to “share space” with the army on issues such as India-Pakistan relations and security.

What is it that is to be discussed? The problem has been discussed and agreements signed but flouted to have further negotiations.The Shimla agreement and the Lahore declarations were written off with the attack on Kargil, terror attacks continue and separatists are being supported, aided and abetted. 26/11 trial is a sham showing lack of good faith and sincerity so what is there to talk?

Time for both countries to take a break from negotiations and solve pressing internal issues. Time for both countries to cut the budget spending on armed forces and spy agencies. Most importantly : Also time for both countries to promote family planning.

In the past, the Indian Governments (almost all, right from the Independence) was so soft toward the Pakistan. In other words, it played into the hands of Pakistan. For example, when Pakistan wanted talk, talk did took place; when Pakistan wanted war, war did happened; when Pakistan wanted peace, peace did prevailed for sometime; when Pakistan wanted unrest in the Kashmir volley, they did succeeded; and so on…However, the coin is now reversed with the emergence of strong leadership in India. Now, Pakistan is desperate to have talk with India.

I think Modi had plans to start a new chapter with Pakistan when he invited Mr Nawaz Sharif to his swearing in ceremony, and Mr Sharif went there was graceful of him because we know some people did not want him to go. But Modi is a man of action and is elected by people of India. He had requested Nawaz Sharif to act against terror channels and act against 26/11 culprits to address India's genuine concerns so that two could start a new chapter. But not only not Pakistan did not do it, it continued with juvenile posturing of meeting Hurryat leaders citing past practice. It hurt Modi as inspite of his request Pakistan showed no senstivity. Pakistan referring to them as stake holders, and leaving aside all others, is a joke. It clearly sent wrong signal. Add to this no MFN, no matter how ceremonial it is, to India. Pakistan needs to do some introspection. It has to honour previous agreements and cannot come to dialogue table with a list of demands only and do nothing on terror front.

It cannot be that talks will not place till the end of time. So it is better to resume discussions sooner rather than later. Can the two countries not move out of the orbit of mutual antagonism and settle for issues which will be mutually beneficial, increase mutual trust and bring peace. It may also bring down defence expenditure on both sides which can free funds for much-needed development. (In these days of global warming it may even bring down the temperature of the world). Whatever may have happened in the past - we have to move forward in the interest of the people of the two countries, future generations and world peace. We have to continue making the effort, no matter what.

@Blue Saffron
Sir: you may like to learn a bit about Nukes, nuclear war and its devastating results, ability of a Nuke nation and retaliation as follows:
1. Nukes are not hand grenades. They are Weapons of mass destruction , for they can level cities.
2. There has never been a nuclear war between nations which possessed nukes! Dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was one sided. Japan never possessed one to retaliate!
3. Every nation can not design, test and produce an operational nuke. It requires enormous technical and scientific ability and infrastructure to produce one.
4. Such a nation also has the ability to produce and disperse for a secondary retaliation on the enemy who was stupid enough use it in the first place . An attack on a nuclear nation would result in a massive counter attack from dispersed nukes. It will devastate the enemy.
So thinking of using a nuclear bomb on another Nation which is armed nukes is committing massive suicide.
5. So please remember that Nukes are useless against an enemy which also possesses Nukes.
6. So please boast ot thump your chests that you can use nukes at the drop of HST before breakfast.!

Only way to solve Kashmir issue is to go United Nations Security Council and demand that UN Resolution 47 which was adopted on April 21, 1947 must be implemented now or else start imposing sanctions on India.

@Dr. Rahman How does one talk to a neighbor where it has little or no respect for the territorial integrity of others, international protocols, every time it turns its back on the agreements that have been reached on( not letting state or non-state actors to inflict terror), clear understanding to move forward with Shimla agreement and now marching the drums of the old outdated irrelevant UN resolution it is Pakistan that is dwelling in past some 67 years past. Let us all move on keep this Kashmir issue aside and talk about regional prosperty and commerce for the good of all people.

@Dr. Rahman just remember..... when you talk about past and still also talk about unfinished business in kashmir. Move on to prosperity and betterment of people. Once you move forward there will be no need to sabotage India and friendly relations will automatically happen. We all need to look inside ourselves before making such statements about others.

Pakistan's desire to break Kashmir from India in exchange for Bangladesh loss is understandable but not practical. The only resolution is keep what we have, educate, develop and prosper. That is the only viable solution, any more talk of breaking further regions either on India or Pakistan side are disastrous not only to both countries but the entire South Asia. Don't we have bigotry, castism, rapes, poverty, education, infrastructure, jobs, economy and many more problems to resolve both in India and Pakistan ? What is the insistence of something that is not possible going to cause ? I have said this on other news article, these kind of actives are like rocking chair will make you feel good but will not take you anywhere. Education, poverty, rapes, slums, electricity, clean water should only be the focus.

@Dr. Rahman Doctor Sahib we followed your advice several times but were stabbed in the back every time. We invited you to Agra after Kargil , we forgot about 26/11 and showed willingness to trade and live in peace but you always want to dictate with a dagger in your hand. India's large heartedness must not be taken for granted. Stop sending terrorists and shut down the terror camps and we will not only talk but embrace you as brothers do but the dagger that you are holding in your hand makes the embrace difficult. Let us face facts Doctor.

@Faisal Maqnateesi There is no evidence of Indian meddling in Pakistan's Internal affairs. Its a pretext made up by your Country's Security establishment that we are involved, so much so, that noone is even thinking of how can India get involved at Logistical, Moral or on any grounds with people who are so radically different than us in religion, culture et al.
Regarding suppresion of Kashmiris, you should understand that if the Kashmiris wanted what you are made to believe that they wanted, a revolution would have started years back. Instead they took part in elections in record numbers. Fact is, they know that in the long term India can offer what Pakistan cannot, economic prosperity and stability.

Look at the Indian treatment to Nepal , Bhutan.They require no visa ,can apply for jobs in India ,the border is almost open and India has provided massive support for earthquake relief.Whereas Pakistan continues to harp on Kashmir and religion.It is time now ,they should get over their obsession and live like brothers.Nepal is getting competitive support from India and China ,whereas in Pakistan it is only China.So you are Loosing out on so many opportunities and costs.The Chinese solar plant is costing double what India makes using same components.

@Taimoor Khan Correct your GK mate. India voted a pseudo-secular party (Congress) for 66 years thinking it as secular. This time we have taken a right decision in electing a nationalist who was blamed by the very Congress as a culprit but courts have given clean chit to him. India has voted for development, and FYI, he has already exceeded the expectations of common people in India.
