Indian allegations can harm peace process, says Nisar
19
ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan Wednesday said unnecessary blame game unleashed by India would harm peace initiatives and efforts of improving bilateral relations between the two countries.
In a statement, he said Pakistan wants peace which could only be achieved by promoting bilateral relations. Such propaganda tactics and unnecessary allegations can harm peace process, which is not in favour of both the countries.
The minister Pakistan must not be blamed for India’s internal weaknesses. The unnecessary hue and cry of India and its media against Pakistan is incomprehensible, he added.
India had lodged a diplomatic protest with Pakistan over an attack on an army post in the disputed Kashmir region in which five of its soldiers were killed on Tuesday.
According to Indian spokesman the killing incident occurred five kilometers inside Line of Control. The question is how Pakistan Army reached five kilometer inside LoC, in a high security zone and vigilance of Indian Army, he inquired.
An attack at such a sensitive place was nearly impossible, he said and added, it is mere propaganda of the Indians that Pakistan Army has intruded inside the LoC.
“Even if a cracker goes off in India, Pakistan is blamed for it,” the minister said.

Yet again I find a typographic error in a story at DAWN. I am considering sending my CV to DAWN as a proof reader. Following is the sentence I am referring to:

What peace process? there is no peace between India and Pakistan, and there never will be because Pakistanis will not give up trying to destroy India.
This whole "process" is a sham.

This is true that something goes wrong in India and blame come to Pakistan. The example is Bombay attaked which exposed by Indian senior officer and blamed on Pakistan in the Past which was preplane by Indian interior officers, so sad.

The attack did not occurred 5 KM but only 450 M inside as per Reuters report.It is not correct to say that anything happening in India is blamed on Pakistan ,in this particular case dead body of 5 Soldiers of 21 Bihar regiment is there for all to see..Recently there were many deadly Maoist attack in which large number of high value causality of senior leaders took place but no body blamed Pakistan, similarly in many cases Indian Mujaheddin, who are terrorist group within India are blamed not Pakistan, but somehow Pakistan takes them on themselves,

The best relationship with India is to have an arm's length relationship. If they want to have peace talks, Pakistan must be all ready to have such talks. But if India does not want to have any negotiations or they break off the process after every little incident, then let them do it. Pakistan should walk off too and don't call them back until they call Pakistan. If Pakistan adopts the principle of aloofness, sooner or later India will realize their mistake

Mr. Nisar is quite right that this border incidence and india making a fuss about it will be harmful for any potential peace effort. What baffles me is why violent things happen whenever there is a move towards some sort of live-and-let live accommodation. I guess that peace prospect between the two enemy countries upsets some folks. May be the atmosphere for peace is no here yet and it may be best to leave any efforts towards it to some other era when the hatreds have subsided somewhat. Furthermore, what is the point of peace when there is no change of heart on either side. It may be better to wait until fatigue has set in both parties. I do not see that has happened yet.

Mr Nisar Ali Khan, your comments about the incidence is not wise either. You mentioned something about ' not playing the blaming game ' But if you claim to be a wise person, you should refrain from high lighting India's weakness. Isn't that blaming India ? So stop passing comments at the drop of a hat , act mature and refrain criticism !
That's my humble advise to you.

Part of this is blame game and part of this is that India thinks that it has already become a "Super Power". It also thinks that it can twist Pakistan's hands. However, India knows very well that these techniques have never worked. India does not really know any ways to have good bilateral relations with any of it's neighbors. India needs to look around it's borders and see for itself and judge.

I completely agree that an unnecessary hue and cry was / is being created in India. We've lost 5 soldiers, and the politicians are busy playing a blame game and making a fool of themselves on the world stage, as usual.
I also agree that India has a tendency to blame Pakistan even if a fire cracker goes off, but the truth is that more often than not India has proven Pakistan

Oh please, the same mantra of Pakistani involvement. You need to catch up on current affairs. Your own officials have now admitted that all the terrorist activities that you mentioned, were the work of government of India.

@Khan:
India is not a superpower - it's far from it. And I think the country is proud of its achievements (which is no mean feat actually) but it isn't overconfident that it's a superpower.
India cannot twist Pakistan's arms...no one can. Pakistan is a deadly nation with enough terrorist power to cause havoc in India. It would be really stupid on India's part to take any *panga* with Pakistan.
