Story:
Just hours after the Indian government recommended dates of February 18 and 25 for negotiations with Pakistan, Islamabad has shown its true colours.
Believe it or not, vowing not to bend before India Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Sunday (February 7) lashed out at New Delhi saying Islamabad will not bend to India pledging to fight Pakistan’s case at an international level without giving in to any pressure.
Addressing a public gathering in Multan, the Foreign Minister said that India should come on the table of dialogue with Pakistan instead of using delaying tactics. He added, “Pakistan has a clear stance regarding every issue be it Kashmir or the water issue and we would not step back from their stance.”
Qureshi’s unwarranted remarks are potentially damaging rhetoric that could hamper the fragile call for talks between India and Pakistan.
Even as India has proposed February 18 or 25 for start of the fresh peace talks with Pakistan, it would like the exercise to be a limited affair instead of the composite dialogue that Islamabad is pressing for.
India on Sunday proposed February 18 and 25 to Pakistan for Foreign Secretary-level talks as part of a “practical and pragmatic” approach to seek redressal of its core concern of cross-border terrorism but warns that there will be a huge setback if 26/11 is repeated.
India underlines that the proposed Foreign Secretary-level talks would not mean resumption of composite dialogue even though it is ready to discuss whatever issue Pakistan raises, including Balochistan, as it wants to deal with the situation in a “mature” and “confident” manner.
From the Indian side, cross-border terrorism and infiltration, which witnessed a marked increase last year, will be the “centre-piece” of the proposed meeting.
Under the composite dialogue eight issues including Jammu and Kashmir and terrorism were discussed in four rounds of talks before it was “paused” in November 2008 in the wake of Mumbai attacks.
The Foreign Secretary-level talks “are not composite dialogue but just dialogue” to “unlock” the channels of communication frozen since 26/11 attacks, sources had said yesterday.
The offer of talks is a “practical and pragmatic approach” to seek redressal of India’s concerns with regard to cross-border terrorism, the sources said, adding the intention is to convey its point of view directly to the Pakistani establishment rather than “firing salvos”.
In the ice-breaking decision, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao has invited her Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir in New Delhi for talks and proposed February 18 and 25 for the same.
