Modi visiting Lahore today

[jaunty]

Lol yup..

Can you imagine the outrage if this was MMS instead of Modi? Forget that, even if a Khan from Bollywood visits Pakistan in his personal capacity, bhakt control room would decide to boycott his movies.

Mr, Nair, with all due respect, WTF does the cars and budget has to do with Modi's visit to Pakistan? Can you not enjoy a moment of peace and goodwill between two war-torn nations where about a billion people are poor? The event of today, will have a longer lasting peace effects on like a billion people!

@Irfan Baloch , @Slav Defence : both sides have retards. Could you please erase this post as its off topic?

I wonder how Mani Shankar Aiyar would view this! Perhaps he would just keep quiet and let it pass.

Your point is taken but Proactive diplomacy does not preclude caution.
And please can you cut down on calling names and using taunts.

I appreciate the fact that you understood my post. I won't call any names. This is a historical time, when two nations on brinks of wars many times, can learn to sit down, create peaceful dialogue and become like the European Union. That would benefit millions of Indian and Pakisani businesses and will bring about lasting peace. I just want people to appreciate what Modi did (hard to believe I am siding with Modi). But excellent step taken. Probably the best and most peaceful thing that came out of 2015!!!! And a good start towards 2016. Optimism is what the world lives on, so we should be optimistic on this.

Looks finally Modi has realized ground realities plus the failure of Indian proxy wars thru Afghanistan and TTP must have let this 56 incher bend on his knees.
Whatever the causes Pakistan should seize this opportunity to resolve Kashmir followed by opening trade routes to India as it is beneficial for common people of both states.
I hope Modi means business and is serious about resolving issues and is not onto another set of theatrics like his predecessors but to be able to decide sanely he will have to resist the advises of Hindu fanatics which includes many of his close aides .
Only time will tell how much honest Modi is to his voters as people want peace and no proxy wars and to ensure this Kashmir has to be resolved as per kashmiries wishes.

Well it was a good trip but history will give this trip importance if it leads towards thawing the cold relations between two nations.. So far its good development as we both can't fight forever. After 11 years a prime minister from india has visited pakistan. A few more visits in the official capacity and dialogues will help normalize the relations between two nations.

Finally 'The Rock' has come back to La hore.

I would imagine this has left a lot of bhakts confused too.

They are happy because it left media confused.

Modi arrives in Lahore on surprise visit
LAHORE: Indian premier Narendra Modi landed at Lahore's Allama Iqbal International Airport today on a surprise visit, where Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif were present to receive him.

This is the first time an Indian premier has visited Pakistan in more than a decade.

Television footage showed Modi exit his jet and embrace PM Nawaz, after which the two heads flew in a helicopter to Nawaz Sharif's private residence in Raiwind.

A groundbreaking tweet
The visit itself was announced in a novel way – on Twitter.

Modi said he would stop over in Lahore on his way to New Delhi from Afghanistan.oreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, responding to Modi's announcement, said on Twitter: "That's like a statesman. Such should be the relationship between neighbours."
Congress questions visit
India's major opposition party, Congress, questioned Modi's visit to Pakistan, saying serious information like this should not have been revealed through Twitter, reported Times of India.

"It is unfortunate that we get to know about prime minister's visit through a tweet... India and Pakistan relations are not so good as yet that he stops over there on his way back from another country," Congress spokesperson Ajoy Kumar told IANS.

Congress leader Manish Tewari called it an "adventure" by the Indian prime minister.

Modi arrived in Kabul on Friday, where he inaugurated the country's new parliament building, a project initiated by the Indian government in 2007 as a mark of friendship and cooperation to help rebuild war-torn Afghanistan.

The last meeting between Modi and Nawaz took place in November on the sidelines of the 21st UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, where the two premiers exchanged pleasantries and had a friendly chat.

In a breakthrough, Pakistan and India earlier this month agreed to reinitiate a comprehensive dialogue process during Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's visit to Islamabad for the 'Heart of Asia' conference.

Since Modi's ascent to power, tensions between the two countries have remained high, with foreign secretary-level talks cancelled last year and security advisers' dialogue abandoned in August this year.

But the relationship thawed after Modi and Sharif resumed high-level contacts with a brief conversation at a climate change summit in Paris last month and their national security advisers met in Bangkok earlier this month.

The brief and unannounced meeting between the two security advisers in Bangkok and a joint statement they issued showed New Delhi rowing back from its recent position and agreeing to discuss Jammu and Kashmir in the otherwise familiar mix of issues.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister's Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz told the National Assembly that the foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India will meet soon to discuss modalities regarding the bilateral dialogue which will include matters related to peace and security, Jammu and Kashmir, Siachen, Sir Creek, Wullar Barrage, Tulbul Navigation Project, economic and commercial cooperation, counter-terrorism, narcotics control and humanitarian issues, people to people exchanges and religious tourism.

Swaraj told the Indian parliament last week that war is not an option and dialogue is the way forward with Pakistan to fight the ‘shadow of terror'.
