Thank God, there would be further talks between India and Pakistan

Pak Foreign Minister Qureshi wants India to simply solve the Kashmir problem by agreeing to whatever that country wants, it seems.

From media reports Qureshi has always been seen as a hawk and, therefore, it has been characteristic of him to draw parallel between India’s Home Secretary G.K.Pillai and terrorist Hafiz Saeed.

Somehow it has come convenient to him to expect that India would offer the moon, in spite of Pak terrorists indulging in a killing-spree in Mumbai. One of the killers is in Indian custody!!!

Qureshi says he was willing for anything, but India was intransigent and External Affairs Minister S.M.Krishna was taking orders from New Delhi.

Where else should Krishna take orders from? And as for Qureshi, will the Government of Pakistan, let alone the numerous terrorist organizations, heed to Qureshi, if he offers something?

Qureshi’s public outbursts might have been meant to appease the home audience, including terrorist outfits which do not want any solution to core issues. They can thrive only in disputes.

India should not be disillusioned by such outbursts, for there is no predictability for whatever is happening in Pakistan.

This neighbour cannot be replaced at all and, therefore, all avenues of living with it should be probed and peace secured through continued dialogue.
