| Aziz may succeed in building bridges | | | If Pak accepts India's conditions Sartaj
If Pakistan has a belated plan to mend fences with India and work out for a truce it all depends on the attitude of Islam-abad. Once Sartaj Aziz, advisor to Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharief,on foreign affairs lands in India he would try to promote peace between the two nuclear neighbours. But his mission may not succeed unless Pakistan accepts various suggestions and what one may call pre-conditions for building bridges between New Delhi and Islam-abad. Advisor to Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharife on foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz has said that he would visit India for the Heart of Asia conference in December. Aziz hinted that his visit could be used to "defuse the tension" between the two neighbours, which have escalated since the militant attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri in September, in which 19 soldiers were killed. Pakistan will attend the conference in Amritsar despite India having "sabotaged" the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation summit that was to be held in Islamabad, Aziz has stated. However, he did not confirm if he would meet Indian officials during the visit. His trip will be the first by a senior Pakistani government official since the Uri attacks. He also reiterated the claim that Indian troops violated the ceasefire and killed seven of its soldiers in the Bhimber sector of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday night.After Uri, ties between the two countries had worsened further following the Indian Army's surgical strikes along the Line of Control, which were seen as India's response to the Uri attacks. Pakistan had violated the ceasefire 99 times since the September 29surgical strikes on "terror launchpads". , At least 18 people were killed in the cross-border firing, while over 83 others were wounded.
Aziz has claimed that India was shy talking to Pakistan. But New Delhi has never been shy on reopening the channels of dialogue. But it depends on the other wise because for a bilateral dialogue it takes two to clap. It cannot be a one-way traffic in the sense that India plans to reopen the channels of talks but Pakistan continues to use its soil for exporting terror to India,including Jammu and Kashmir.
Well despite provocations from the across the LOC and the IB India has adopted a policy of restraint and unfortunately Pakistan mistook it for weakness. And when the Indian troops were asked to retaliate with force and fury each and every ceasefire violations by Pakistan the Pak Army learnt a lesson and started breast beating when scores of their border outposts and bunkers were demolished and over a dozen Armymen were killed and others injured.And if Aziz wants to promote peace let Islamabad wind up all the arms training camps and forget about helping militants in sneaking into Jammu and Kashmir. If Pakistan accepts this sound suggestion New Delhi has no objection to hold t alks for debating bilateral problems |
