A FEAR THAT MIGHT BE WORRYING IMRAN-BAJWA. Musharraf and Kiyani even said that the internal threat was more serious than any threat Pakistan faced from India. Whether you live in India or overseas, you can do it here. Mr. Muhammad Sana Ullah Khan Masti Khel: PTI: Masti Khel House Jandanwala P/O Same Tehsil Kallur Kot District Bhakkar. I have read a million such scholarly columns and, like a stubborn mule, would still ask, Baat karne mein kya harj hai ? Why can’t The Print publish more of such sensible articles . For one, it is either made to tide over some domestic crisis, or to exploit, or at times evade, some international pressure. Go back further, and there is Raheel’s predecessor, Ashfaq Kiyani. Retaining control over the Gwadar Port with supply line running in 1000s of miles through hostile and difficult terrain with Pakistan incapable of providing any dependable security support may just become unviable.

I wish our friends in India can also foresee how drastically our socioeconomic can transform – bringing tens of millions out of poverty. Behind Pakistanâs talks offer to India lies a Khan-Bajwa plan This is an old ploy that the Pakistanis have tried ever since 9/11, first with the Bush administration, then with Obama and now with Biden. Having said this, Bajwa sought international intervention to bring peace in the subcontinent. Imran Khan and Bajwa were trying to project themselves as reasonable people who were ready to talk peace with India, and then use this to portray India as being obdurate. On 2 February, while addressing an army graduation ceremony, Pakistan Army Chief, Gen Qamar Bajwa, said, “It is time to extend hand of peace in all directions.” In the same speech, he also said, “Pakistan and India must also resolve the longstanding issue of Jammu and Kashmir in a dignified and peaceful manner as per the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and bring this human tragedy to its logical conclusion,” and then added the standard warning (repeated ad nauseam over the last seven decades) that Pakistan’s desire for peace shouldn’t be taken as a sign of weakness. but before that you will have to restore the pre-Aug 5, 2019 status of the occupied territory.” Almost as if he had vanquished India on the battlefield and India was desperately seeking a face-saving from him, Imran very magnanimously offered a seat on the dialogue table, but with a caveat. Questions put by Indian journalists to the Ministry of External Affairs spokesman focussed only on ‘hand of peace’, call for ‘coexistence’ and some even saw it as a ‘peace initiative’. On all these standpoints, it is clear that the media has misread, misinterpreted, even misrepresented, the latest statements of Bajwa and Imran. As President, Musharraf even tried some out-of-the-box thinking to resolve the Kashmir issue—the four point formula—but it was at best a temporary solution. Best wishes from Pakistan. As far as India is concerned, what should matter are not Pakistan’s words but its actions. But both of them pussyfooted around the internal threat from terrorism and focused on what was often called the strategic threat from India. Everytime when one of the two hostile countries offer a talk can be lamented with these abstract labels. China, US, and Arab states have their own interest. This is an old ploy that the Pakistanis have tried ever since 9/11, first with the Bush administration, then with Obama and now with Biden. So many of Pakistanâs pioneering forefathers will be part of the story: Allama Iqbal, Jinnah, Maulana Shaukat Ali and Muhammad Ali Jauhar.â ... Asim Saleem Bajwa. Some tactical changes and adjustments were, however, made in relation to India. But India must read fine print, Deadly smoke set to return to kitchens as Modi govt cuts LPG subsidies, How PM Modi pulled up IAS officers 3 times in 3 weeks for slow pace of work, lacking ‘courage’, Earth-like planet discovered 26 light years away, with an atmosphere. Later, Shahzad claimed, the plot was ‘hijacked’ by Al-Qaeda and executed by Lashkar-e-Taiba. After Musharraf’s exit, his plan on Kashmir was thrown in the rubbish bin by his successor, Kiyani. And quite like his ‘selector’ Bajwa, Imran too added the standard line that his offer should not be misconstrued as Pakistan’s weakness, “It’s not because of any fear that we want friendship with you”. Sustaining journalism of this quality needs smart and thinking people like you to pay for it. On the ground, however, there was nothing to indicate that Pakistan actually was ready to end its inimical behaviour towards India, or crackdown on Pakistan-based, India-focused terrorist groups that were once again becoming very active. Totally agree with the author. Both nations need education, nutrition, infrastructure instead of arms.

As is their wont, the media in both India and Pakistan picked a sentence or two from what Bajwa and Imran said and ran with it. India needs to stick to the red lines she has drawn and not only reject Pakistan’s self-serving ‘hand of peace’, but also resist any gratuitous advice to hold talks with Pakistan. Again, a man reputed to have visceral hatred for India. ThePrint has the finest young reporters, columnists and editors working for it. At the same time, India must lay out clear metrics that Pakistan must meet before clasping its ‘hand of peace’. Thirdly, does what is being said have any congruity with actions on ground? In the process, they not only conveniently glossed over everything else that was said in the very same speech/statement, but also ignored the background, context, and, most of all, the ground reality in which the speeches were made. No country can progress by undermining their population – in this case Kashmir’s, Muslims and Sikhs in India. People of the subcontinent deserve to have better quality of life – only possible with durable peace. There have been brutal layoffs and pay-cuts. Even so, given the short memories of the media, Kiyani’s remarks created some stir. So try and change the tack, but there are no more the usual supporters of Aman Ki Asha, with 370 & 35A gone the Jokers in the pack have no trump value. And even after India does this, she must keep counting her fingers, because with Pakistan one can never be sure. ...

Meanwhile, Jamaat-i-Islami Senator Mushtaq Ahmad asked in what capacity was Bajwa ⦠For another, it is never unconditional. The best of journalism is shrinking, yielding to crude prime-time spectacle. If they’re serious, they must also accept and apologise for the past. Secondly, can a speech or statement be quoted selectively, thereby inadvertently and perhaps unwittingly obfuscating the message, which in turn leads to faulty conclusions? questioned Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Muhammad Javed Abbasi. Saudi and UAE funds have dried up, if the reports of worrisome depletion of Forex Reserves of China are true their AAYASHI in Pakistan will also be over shortly. Before Kiyani, both Gen Jehangir Karamat and Pervez Musharraf as army chiefs made similar statements.

Why waste our precious time and resources in holding lavish summits and conferences to confuse everybody? If only the media had not been so quick to jump the gun and bite the bait, it would have realised that there was neither anything new nor novel in what Bajwa and his appointee had said, nor was there any seriousness, much less sincerity, in the so-called ‘olive branch’ or ‘hand of peace’ being extended to India. Apart from China, Pak has been actively building its support network among Islamic nations, especially Malaysia, Qatar, Turkey, Saudis (it’s rumored that Pak is helping both Turkey & Saudis with their nuwkiller program) and some others. February 2nd wasn’t the first time Gen Bajwa spoke about relations with India. War between two nuclear neighbors with millions of poor people is out of question. Twitter.
