Work on TAPI pipeline begins in Pakistan

[xyxmt]

It represents a reckless risk to source oil through a volatile and openly hostile nation like pakistan. No thanks we aren't going to accept that risk.

then dont

 

[shahbaz baig]

why always our Govt takes wrong decisions ?? why not take the Gas pipeline from Iran ? as india already signed the deal with iran and oman

 

[Fracker]

I heard the plan was to by pass Afghanistan. What happened?

 

[sohail.ishaque]

You can't guarantee us safe and constant delivery of oil, too bad we will withdraw from TAPI.

u better withdraw else we'll find a way to kick u out of this project

 

[Sam.]

And you represent Indian govt by being a canadian citizen

Even being An NRI hasnt changed your chap mentality

You are right. That guy is NRI buffoon.

 

[Safriz]

Bad decision. India and Iran are in the bed together and will harm Pakistan's benefit together.
The project was good without Indian involvement

I think we have enough demand for natural gas in Pakistan to sustain this project without Indians taking part in it. But I think Pak will prefer Indian involvement for the simple logic that it will stop them from sabotaging the pipeline using their cronies in Afghanistan and will put more pressure on Afghanistan to assure the safety of the pipeline.

As it does pass through Taliban heartland in Afghanistan at the end phase so we should use whatever little influence we have with Talibans to make it more secure.

Not necessary.
If pakistan closes our tap, we will close their tap from afghanistan.
We have built that much leverage on afghanistan not for nothing.
Besides we will be paying only for gas that arrives at our border, so there is nothing to loose.
I think this project will float fine, its win win for all parties.

Pakistan will get $500 million from India, no reason to cut off unless baniya doesn't pay on time.

Sir, pakistan will also pay afganistan $500 millions as transit fee. So ultimately both India and Pakistan will get gas as consumer and both will be benefited

India pays to Afghanistan and Pakistan. We get from India and pay to Afghanistan, win win.

Sir, it is worth paying transit fee as gas in TAPI pipeline will be cheaper then any other source. So it will be beneficial to both India and Pakistan. Moreover it will create a permanent stability in the region. Besides Kashmir , I don't think that India will have any problem with doing business with Pakistan.

 

[MultaniGuy]

I say ditch TAPI , let the gas go to China instead. Go for TAPC

Economic integration is key to peace..look at German, Japan and USA...former enemies..now best friend...even chances of USA going to war with China are near impossible..unless CHinese want to commit economic suicide...

If tap is closed from Afghanistan..both India and Pak dont get gas...sort of like suicide for India..

 

[BABA AGHORI]

economic integration is good..and Afghanistan will now be under pressure by three countries to stabilize and establish peace..if terrorist blow up pipe line..it would invite the wrath of three countries..there should be joint clause to penalize Afghanistan for failing to secure pipe line..compensate economic losses to Tajikistan, Pakistan and India...

Things that can happen in Afg. can also happen in Pakistan. That the same reason IPI was not successful. Pakistan was not ready to take the cost of sabotage and losses to India.

why always our Govt takes wrong decisions ?? why not take the Gas pipeline from Iran ? as india already signed the deal with iran and oman

Who will take the heat of the arab world. Doing business with Iran will not be that easy.

Sabotage ? Man you Indians are ignorants to the core. Just for the quick recap:

Iran-Pakistan gap pipeline isn't materialized because of US/UN sanctions on Iran. Also Saudia Arab continuous lobby against the project. So security of the pipeline was never an issue even not now when Gawader development is at full pace because of CPEC.

And lastly if India doesn't want to be part of the TAPI project than don't be. They are even not required for a second.Pakistan will be getting her gas anyways. Yes security in Afghanistan will be a constant issue but the project has US strong backing so it is in Afghanistan interest as well to get both the gas and free transit money from Turkmenistan and Pakistan respectively.
