‘Zardari working to establish good ties with India’

[EjazR]

Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan

LAHORE: President Asif Ali Zardari is encouraging peaceful relations with India in line with the Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) established policy - a stance now echoed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif, said Daily Times Editor-in-Chief Najam Sethi on Saturday.

Speaking during his show on Dunya News, he said Zardari had to choose Finance Minister Shaukat Tareen from outside government, because he had no one capable of strengthening Pakistan’s economic position in the government.

Sethi suggested the president expel all of his friends currently occupying important government positions, adding Zardari could become a world-renowned leader if he managed to improve the overall situation of the country. He said it was unfortunate the sacked judges could not be reinstated in accordance with the Charter of Democracy (CoD). He said the CoD should be implemented and President Zardari should understand it was the best agreement for democracy devised by the country’s major political parties.

The Daily Times editor-in-chief said the Swat peace agreement had been signed at the Awami National Party’s (ANP) behest, adding the president and the army were against the pact. He said this agreement had led to misunderstandings between the government and the army. He said the army had prevented the government from taking control of the Inter-Services Intelligence.

Pakistan is an important regional power and an important Islamic power in the region. Pakistan’s stance towards its neighbouring countries is very much clear. We do enjoy good relations with China, Iran and Afghanistan. Pakistan is genuinely trying to open up relation with India which is in the interest of both countries. India should not reduce it status while not pursuing closer relations with Pakistan. India must understand that building ties with Pakistan is its own interest as well. Joint efforts needed to confront menace of terrorism for sake of regional stability. President Zardari is rightly working to establish good ties with India.

It would be definetly be benificial for both the sides. But we should try to keep Kashmir away from bilateral relations.... Because our bilateral relations would develop mutual trust and this mutual trust can be a very decieding factor in the fate of Kashmir peacefully in the upcoming days.

The simple theory is
We should avoid skirmishes first friends second
We should follow being friend first and then solve everything on the table of friendship

Do you think that we will have peace if we bring Kashmir when we are discussing economy?

My point is Kashmir should not be included in other affairs....

keep Kashmir aside and on a diffrent table to discuss and lets discuss everything.....

Kashmir is not going to solved soon.... So better concentrate on our economy and society and keep the Kashmir aside for a while because these things are much more important then Kashmir...
