India trying diplomacy in dealing with rival Pakistan

“PM Sharif, isn’t that expectation reasonable for a sustainable dialogue?”

This was stated by Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif while talking to Pakistani newsmen in NY yesterday.

“We heard the glorification of a terrorist”.

“The award of GSP Plus status for Pakistan shows the confidence of worldwide markets in the excellent quality and standard of the country’s products”.

“This exercise, High Mark, is not done overnight just like that”, he said, describing it as “a routine training matter”.

Sharif, in his UNGA address, had referred to Burhan Wani, the Hizbul Mujahideen militant whose killing in July triggered the cycle of violence that has since roiled Kashmir, as a “young leader”.

The visitors remained with the minister for some time and discussed matters of mutual interest with special reference to the violation of human rights in Indian occupied Kashmir. “When practised as an instrument of state policy it is a war crime”. The name is immaterial because the fact is that all these terrorist organizations are sponsored by Pakistan, the terrorists belonging to them are trained and armed by the Pakistan State. “That is something they have been doing for years”, Pakistan air force spokesman Commodore Javed Mohammad Ali said.

“Now it is high time for the global community to take stock of the ongoing Indian aggression against innocent Kashmiris and pressurise India to stop nasty acts”, they added. The United States must act fast to demonstrate to India and Pakistan where its loyalties and sympathies lie.

Akbar said: “Pakistan at this moment seems to be run by a war machine rather than a Government”.

Since the Uri attack, there has been a growing demand in India for mighty retribution against Pakistan.

He said China was ready to play constructive role in improvement of relations between Pakistan and India.

Gambhir said Pakistan was a democracy deficit country and practises terrorism on its own people. The minister sought the support of the grouping in addressing the threat of terrorism. It does not talk about the Secretary General wanting to intervene in Jammu and Kashmir. “It attracts aspirants and apprentices from all over the world”.

The 11-page message to Muslims of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, titled “Jihad of Kashmir: A Call to Reflection & Action”, was released in English, Hindi, Bengali and Urdu, reported The Indian Express today, which also carried the statement.

The assault, the worst in almost two decades on an army facility in Kashmir, left 18 Indian soldiers dead and has put pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government to retaliate against Islamabad in some way. He said that the United Nations should implement the suggestions presented by Nawaz Sharif and play its role in resolving the long-pending dispute.
