Poor Bangladeshi education!

Much better than an education system that tells its people about ancient spaceships they had.

Are ancient spaceships more improbable than flying angels?

You and one of your similarly educated compatriots pulled out measuring tapes without understanding the meaning of "Tallest leader", that itself says all about the standard of education in Bangladesh.

There is no politics here. He is right when he says there is a conflict of interest. The same is being said in many places besides Imran. Imran is not criticizing Modi's visit, its the circumstances he is criticizing that led to this meeting. A business man acting as a middle man between two head of states should raise eyebrows.

Everybody in India knows - Modi's a corporate stooge and will stoop any low to serve them, Imran just saying it out loud. Kudos to him for having the guts

Imran Khan is perhaps a novice to world history. Business community has played a role in diplomacy in many countries and through out history. Armand Hammer was a go between USSR and the U.S during the cold war.

Business community plays critical role in diplomacy. Marshal plan to rebuild Europe had the U.S business community driving much of the agenda. It should be welcomed that India and Pakistan use 'all' channels as a means to keep the conversation going.

Save the history lesson for another time and re read what Imran said and to what i replied. Nawaz likes to run Pakistan like an institution. He has his business interest foremost and above every thing. He is a business man which makes him unsuitable for Primer ship because there comes conflict of interest. So when a business man tries to act as a bridge between two leaders of hostile countries, Nawaz meets him in his personal home rather than in Islamabad (federation), makes it look like as a personal visit by Modi to wish Nawaz Happy Birthday, it is bound to raise questions.

I read what he said and what you wrote too. Imran and you have made several assumptions based on bullpucky notions. Including that a business man cannot be a PM. Business interests make potential enemies friends. Look at the U.S and China relationship. It is business interests and the revenue, jobs and stability it provides for respective countries that can be more powerful than traditional diplomatic channels.

Btw Imran is a business man too. He has several business interests and investments. The man does not sleep with money under the mattress. It is business interest that will create a pathway for any normalization between India and Pakistan.

No it does not? No body in the US or China is doing business with each other at the expense of national interests. Nawaz is unfit because his Business interests supersedes Pakistan's interests. Forget Kashmir Nawaz has no policy over water that India continues to build dam on. I can give you countless such examples but considering my past experience with you, i'll simply pass.

Politics being played. Not to be taken seriously.

Modi is mellowing Nawaz Sherif, on one hand reminding him of his business interests in India and asking him to support Indian bid for permanent seat in UNSC.

Nawaz, Modi meeting has 'underlying conflict of interest': Imran

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, Imran Khan, on Saturday took to Twitter, saying that there was a “conflict of interest” for a business associate to arrange a meeting between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.

The PTI chairman, however, welcomed the revival of relationships between the longstanding arch rivals.

“We welcome the thaw in Pak-India relations, but to have a business associate arrange the two prime ministers’ meetings has an underlying conflict of interest,” he tweeted.
Referring to an earlier secret meeting between the two leaders, he said, “Meetings of the two prime ministers, from the secret meeting in Kathmandu to the one in Lahore, must be done through institutional frameworks with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the loop for sustainability.”

Further, Imran said that such meetings held between the prime ministers undermines a process whereby tensions can be eased, and raises questions and conflict of interest.

The remarks come a day after Modi made a brief surprise visit to Lahore where he met with PM Nawaz and visited his residence in Raiwind.

It was the first time an Indian premier had stepped foot on Pakistani soil in more than 10 years and was seen by analysts as a step towards normalising ties between the two neighbours which have fought three wars.

If Nawaz Sharif meeting Modi is 'conflict of interest', then what the heck is this?

why Imran Khan is talking the language of GHQ khakis? doesnt me know its haram? Nawaz Sherif has 200 tons of Public mandate which he will convert into Indian Iron with the help of his Indian business partners.
together as brothers there wont be any conflict of interest.

Modi came to Lahore to assure Nawaz the support Indian military in his "Just" fight against the GHQ who doesnt respect the heavy mandate

You really need to apply that noggin my man. China and America have polar opposite world view. China is about its imperialistic view of expanding its sovereignty over others in S china sea. The U.S is about not conceding the Indian ocean and the neighbourhood influence to China. The U.S does everything in its power to apply that pressure on China- it flies over their claimed sovereign space, it sends ships across those claimed sovereign waters. It arms India etc etc.

The only thing that keeps the two countries from not escalating is their business interests . China cannot afford to lose 500 billion plus in trade revenue from the U.S. The U.S cannot afford to lose hundreds of billions from China. It is trade/ business that helps keep countries calm and working with each other.

I can't believe I'm far more educated in your country's affairs than you. But let me help you understand how business can help pakistan and India i.e. If the two countries have closer and sustained business relationship then it makes talks on other issues go far better. Firstly, you will have access to sell your goods- a laundry list of which are common to Indian market needs over any country( china is not buying your wheat , vegetables, your spices, your garments etc). Secondly you will open more industries and employ pakistanis for more jobs.

Yes forget Kashmir- 92% don't want to be a part of Pakistan too. Then why are you fighting for it when you could be feeding, sustaining, growing your economy by giving your people jobs due to access to what is soon going to become- one of the largest economies in the world?

Slight correction its 98%

Just 2% of people in J&K want to join Pak: Survey - Times of India

If You can't achieve your goal militarily, then try it by economical means.

Business is an old weapon used to win wars without firing a single bullet.

Don't think some PM will be so materialistic and anti national at 65. He's a peace lover since start but always bugged down by the army. After Kerry lugar bill he knows he is safe and can pursue his pro India stance more aggressively.
