Pakistan PM plays spoil-sport again

It was hardly four months when Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif shakes hands with Prime Minister Modi and also exchanged gifts with him. He gave all positive signs for improving bilateral relations between two countries. But, the same person has allowed Pakistan High Commissioner in India Abdul Basit to meet Kashmiri separatist leaders’ right under the nose of Indian government’s nose at New Delhi. From then onwards, relations between two countries have been straining as ever before.

While, reiterating that Pakistan wants good relations with India, he further spoils it with his latest speech given at UN Counsel meeting. He said India is enforcing its rule on Kashmiri people against their wish. Hence, he demands the UN Counsel to intervene in the Kashmir issue and conduct a public referendum in Kashmir to know whether they would like to separate from India or not. He flayed UN for remaining silent spectator all these years and demands the members of the counsel to reciprocate positively to his demand keeping in view of the Kashmiri people’s interests.

His timing of raising this issue that is when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting in USA, obviously fumes Indian Government. Actually, Narendra Modi wants to handle India-Pakistan relations with a fresh view ignoring the past, but Pakistan won’t give him that chance. India may strongly respond to his speech, but his speech is virtually seizing all the diplomatic relations between two countries.
