Pakistan can be “more than happy” to discuss to India and resolve the excellent points if New Delhi was prepared to “revisit” a few of its choices to revoke the particular standing of Jammu and Kashmir, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has mentioned. Indo-Pak relations deteriorated after India introduced withdrawing particular powers of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcation of the state into two union territories in August, 2019. India has maintained that challenge associated to Article 370 of the Indian Constitution was solely an inner matter of the nation.
“If India is willing to revisit some of the decisions that it took on August 5, 2019, Pakistan will be more than happy to engage, sit and talk and resolve all outstanding issues, Qureshi said in an interview with Turkey’s Anadolu Agency which was carried by Dawn newspaper on Monday. He said Pakistan had outstanding issues with India including Kashmir, Siachen, Sir Creek, water and other minor issues and the only sensible way forward was the dialogue.
Qureshi said one recent development of recommitment to ceasefire during the conversation between directors general of Military Operations of both sides was a positive development. India and Pakistan in a surprise announcement said on February 25 that they have agreed to strictly observe all agreements on ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir and other sectors. Qureshi also referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s messages on Pakistan’s National Day last month and a goodwill message to Prime Minister Imran Khan who also responded positively to it.
So, there is some thought. It is too early to make a value judgment on that, he said. Last month, Pakistan’s powerful Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa said that it was time for India and Pakistan to “bury the previous and transfer ahead as he asserted that the peace between the 2 neighbours would assist to unlock the potential of South and Central Asia.
The highly effective military, which has dominated Pakistan for greater than half of its 70 plus years of existence, has hitherto wielded appreciable energy within the issues of safety and international coverage. Gen Bajwa’s remarks got here a day after Prime Minister Imran Khan made the same assertion.
