NEW DELHI: Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar warned on Saturday that while Prime Minister Narendra Modi had opened a window of goodwill and dialogue with Pakistan, it was now closing as doubts remained about its sincerity in tackling terrorism.
“Prime Minister Modi opened a window of opportunities when he visited (the) Pakistan prime minister. I think that window is slowly closing. Before it closes, Pakistan needs to develop that trust with India on its sincerity on the approach,” he was quoted by NDTV as saying.
“Pakistan separates terrorists between good ones and bad ones. They are after bad ones but the good ones are promoted to operate in Afghanistan and India. I think that needs to be tackled at a diplomatic level,” Mr Parrikar said.
The minister made the comments at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an inter-governmental security forum in Singapore. He referred to Mr Modi’s surprise visit to Lahore in December last year. The comments were backed by a tweet from BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav, a senior RSS man.
The comments came a day after the chief of the National Investigation Agency probing the Pathankot terrorist attack said the Pakistan government did not appear to be involved.
Mr Modi and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif earlier this week had a phone conversation ahead of the latter’s heart surgery in London. They reportedly discussed ties between India and Pakistan that have cooled in recent weeks over the probe into the Pathankot terrorist strike.
Following a trip by a team of Pakistani investigators to the secure facility in Punjab, Pakistan has not cleared a counter-request for officers from India’s premier investigation agency, the NIA, to visit Pakistan.
India’s external affairs ministry alleges the role of Pakistani nationals in the terrorist strike on the Indian Air Force base in Pathankot “is an accepted fact” while the NIA refuted reports of exonerating the country’s government in aiding the terrorists.

Someone needs to tell Indian establishment that Pakistanis are too wary now of their tactics. Indian involvement in FATA, Balochistan and Karachi is no secret. Kulbhushan Jadhav and his network are real proof of the cloak and dagger game that India is playing. While Pakistanis want peace, we are aware of what Indian security and defence establishment is doing.

Pakistan should have necessarily reciprocated to India's sincerity on Pathankot attack. In all fairness, India had absolved state's involvement due to lack of evidence but state actors were still involved is yet to be acknowledged by Pakistan and no action has been taken against them so far. Pakistan also refused entry of the Indian investigating team which was part of the deal between the two countries. Pakistan's support to good terrorists against two neighbouring countries is a well known and the country has already suffered in cancellation of the F-16 deal and reduced financial aid. Pakistan needs to review its policy on terrorism on priority otherwise, it will be further isolated from rest of the world and likely to face international sanctions soon.

The PM will need to LEAD by working hard and with full support of the opposition parties to convince the security establishment that normalization of relations with India is high priority for Pakistan to begin realizing its full socio-economic development potential. Concerns of the security establishment can be addressed with a no-war pact between both countries. Leadership, vision and wisdom are required to change the existing policies which are no longer relevant.

Our approaches on negotiations or even effort on resumption of cricketing ties get rejected on terror ruse. But the irony is after RAW agent catch, India is exposed that it’s not just the non-state actors but there are actually India's state sponsored terrorist activities and proxy wars in Pakistan.
So, mutual desire to cooperate and engage in fruitful dialogue is the only way forward - mutual desire!

India is sponsoring and financing terror from Afghanistan since 1950, read history about it, when there was no Let, or JUD or any militant group.

welcoming business does not mean accepting the status quo. People need to run their lives as well. Kashmiris are very friendly and tolerant people.

India lives in this self created illusion that India is the only country being targeted by these terrorists and they are the victims, but what they fail to accept is the fact that Pakistan is the biggest loser, Pakistan has lost more innocent lives than any other place on earth, our tourism has suffered more than any other country, our people have payed the highest price. Again, India is the loudest whiner in the world, I'll give you that much. Heck we can't even get a team to come to Pakistan to play cricket. We all know how India is involved in terrorism in Pakistan, its a two way street, accepting your role is half the issue, quit putting all the blame on Pakistan.

Maybe WE THE PEOPLE on both sides should vote on it, its my belief that people want peace, minus a minority on both sides, WE THE PEOPLE should force our leaders to work toward peace and take no excuses as the reasons behind the breakdown of talks. Peace in our region is extremely important, specially between India and Pakistan, there are millions of people on both sides who still have history on the other side of the border, one cannot just forget about it all. Peace is very achievable granted both sides put aside grudges that are decades old

It is time we forget about India, at least for some time, and focus on our own development and internal needs. India can do what is in its best interest, and we should focus on what is in our best interest. We need to live and let live, and just ensure that we don't intrude into each other's territories. That will mean we will not need any 'window' from India, and neither will they need a 'window' from us.

@Saurav No please, not again this IIT's trip here. And who cares about his credentials, at least not in Pakistan. We have not noticed people from other countries talking about their minister's credential. We only notice gesture, only the sincere one not this "window of opportunity" crap. He was telling us kinda "take it or leave it" with a little propaganda flare that BJP is good at.
