Anatomy of Zardari-Singh meeting

[Zameer Khan]

Asif (unlike most cowardly politicians) never accepted a plea deal and extradition, AZ always remained defiant while imprisoned, and never changed his stance on any issues the party believed in or stood by. As the smear campaign and demonizing of Asif Zardari continues after his Presidential victory, we must support this man unconditionally to bring stability to Pakistan! Incidents like the Mumbai attacks take the bilateral peace process back to square one and said, "India wants greater cooperation in good faith from Pakistan in investigating cases of terrorism against it. Pakistan expects the Kashmir dispute to be addressed as a result of this exercise. "Both know that these objectives can be achieved only after a confidence-building exercise has created some measure of trust between them. India was keen to get action against terrorism while Pakistan wants to get back into dialogue. Both can't do more than that because of the pressure of public opinion back home. It is intensely negative on both sides. Indians are riled over the Mumbai attacks; Pakistanis are riled over Indian interference inside Pakistan. Pakistan's priority now is getting rid of terrorists and the war against terrorism should not be an India-Pakistan war. It is ridiculous to point out tiny things out of Zardari-Manmohan’s meeting. The issue is that Pakistan wants peace in the region and it is trying throughout.
