India supports Iran pipeline: Delhi to join Turkmenistan plan: Jadoon
By Jawed Naqvi

NEW DELHI, Feb 17: Petroleum ministers of Pakistan and India gave their unequivocal support on Friday to the proposed gas pipeline from Iran, saying neither fears about trouble in Balochistan nor the raising of international finances for the project were an issue.

Officials asserted after Friday’s talks between Petroleum Minister Amanullah Khan Jadoon and his Indian counterpart Murli Deora that political fears emanating from the US opposition to the pipeline appeared to have been exaggerated.

The view was bolstered by support for the project conveyed to Mr Jadoon by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who took time out from parliament for the meeting.

Its difficult to see even that happening since you cannot build a pipeline through a province which is ruled by medieval sardars who are hell-bent on destroying everything that they see is foreign.

India has some serious security concerns about the pipeline going through Balochistan and so does Iran. Pakistan needs to find a way to quel down the restive province and bring the sardars to justice.
