ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan has urged the United States to use its influence for making India behave as a responsible state in order to bring stability and peace in the region.
This issue was raised during the recent visit of US Secretary of State John Kerry, where he held in-depth discussions with Pakistani political and military leadership.
“Latest developments in the region particularly the ongoing operation against terrorism and the rising tension with India came under discussion,” sources privy to the meetings held with Kerry told this correspondent on the condition of anonymity.
“Kerry was asked that President Obama should take up Pakistan’s concerns related to India during his forthcoming visit to India,” sources said, adding that “Kerry was urged that President Obama should put pressure on Indian leadership for resumption of dialogue process with Pakistan in order to resolve all outstanding issues, including Kashmir”.
The US secretary of state was apprised that Pakistan is deeply engaged in curbing the menace of terrorism and its forces are busy on the Western border, in such crucial times any disturbance on the Eastern border is disturbing this war against terrorism — which as of now remains the global concern. “India must be told to remain in its limits.”
The sources maintained that Kerry was communicated that “India is pursuing policy of aggression against Pakistan without any reason and intends to divert attention of Pakistani forces from the ongoing war against terrorism.”
Kerry was also asked that President Obama should convince the Indian leadership to talk on Kashmir issue as well, since lasting peace in the region can only be guaranteed with the resolution of the core issue of Kashmir, which has been lingering on due to cold Indian response.
Pakistan urged John Kerry to persuade India to take initiative for resuming dialogue process for resolution of all outstanding issues with Pakistan. He was informed that it was always Pakistan which took the initiative to resume the dialogue process but India adopted a cold attitude. “The last effort for resumption of the dialogue process was also initiated by Pakistan, but India disrupted it without any reason,” the sources concluded.
