Obama administration pressurises Pakistan to give MFN status to India.

Why should Pakistan grant MFN to India?

India has supported terrorism in East Pakistan and now in Baluchistan & FATA. Its actively doing it to undermine Pakistan. Why it wants MFN status from a country it doesn't want to see existing?

India has granted MFN status on paper only. The import restrictions are far too many for Pakistani products. Our industry needs protection. Just like any other country, Pakistan too has the right to protect its industry.

I m surprised to read @cb4 post that IMF has put this MFN condition. Why are outsiders lobbying or pressuring us into it? There must be some geopolitical dimension to it too.

Awesome. Good. Stay in the past and perish in your present so that your future wont exist at all. Its ur decision. Obviously, when u wont have food then eat this ego of urs.

and you think you are the provider of food?

What are you? A country bloated with chauvinistic pride? Majority of your country under poverty line. You have more poor than Africa. Feed yourself first before thinking of us dying of hunger.

I think this would be a good thing for Pakistan and India. Trade could help normalise relations and improve living standards. Pakistan needs to focus more on its economy and less on the military, does it want to be another North Korea a country which spends everything on its military and nukes but where people eat grass? The Pakistani military has a vested interest in keeping the population hating India but Pakistan must turn away from that. Imagine how screwed the Canadian economy would be if it didn't trade with the US or how screwed NZ would be if it didn't trade with Australia.

The Americans want to control Pakistan and as we are a stubborn people who would 'eat grass but have the bomb', they are trying to force us to be dependent on a nation that they have better relations with. Take for example the Shabaz Sharif address of taking Indian help to solve our energy crises.

Americans will never understand that we are a proud people and independent people and the only way to truly see eye to eye with us is to give us respect and we are a people who would happily die for our friends (as we've done so for our fellow Muslim nations and China).
