But in a sudden sign of softening positions, the national security advisers of the two countries met in Bangkok early this month, followed by Indian external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj’s visit to Islamabad where the two sides agreed to resume comprehensive talks.

Mr. Kharge said that even after two days of Mr. Modi’s visit to Pakistan and his meeting with Mr. Nawaz Sharif, the people have been kept in the dark about what transpired between Mr. Modi and Mr. Sharif.
Lashing out at the Prime Minister’s “frequent” visits to foreign countries, chief minister Tarun Gogoi on Saturday accused Modi of ignoring the problems of the country and its people.
The Dawn, however, in this tongue-in-cheek article cited a social media post which termed India and Pakistan as “Ross and Rachel of worldwide diplomacy”. “Wherever there are youth, they will be linked through ‘live connectivity”, the Prime Minister said.
Affirming that it was wrong to think that reservoirs of knowledge are confined to only some cities, the Prime Minister said the youth with abilities are spread all over the country.
Taking a dig at the Prime Minister, Vadakkan said Modi can also address the issue of intolerance through this app.
Talking of the advantages of direct benefit transfer schemes, PM Modi said, “Subsidy is reaching people directly under the world’s largest direct benefit transfer scheme”.
It is “the biggest surprise of all” of Modi’s diplomatic moves since he came to power on 26 May, 2014 for which he had invited leaders of the South Asian countries, the Time magazine wrote.
The two governments must build on the optimism generated by the Modi-Sharif meeting.
It’s the first time an Indian prime minister has visited the rival nation in over a decade. The security overcame two challeneges-IAF chopper at Lahore airport and Modi’s 45-kilometre road journey from the airport to Sharif’s Raiwind Palace through the heart of Lahore.
Former High Commissioner to India Shahid Malik said India has to show seriousness and willingness to resolve all outstanding issue.
It was also decided in that meeting that the foreign secretaries would deliberate upon a 10-point agenda, including peace and security, Jammu and Kashmir, Sircreek, anit- terrorism, anti-narcotics and other issues.
