India-Pakistan Relations: India's response has come to the fore on the offer of talks by Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. On Shehbaz Sharif's comment on talks with India, MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, "We have seen the report. India's stand is that we want friendly relations with all countries...but For this, a terror-free environment has to be created, otherwise hostilities will inevitably continue.
Explain that for the first time after India's surgical strike in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Balakot, Pakistan has offered talks with India. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday expressed readiness to hold talks with India to resolve all serious and pending issues. He said that "war is not an option" for both the countries as both are fighting poverty and unemployment. Sharif made the remarks while addressing the inaugural session of the Pakistan Mineral Summit.
Shahbaz Sharif had said thisThe Prime Minister of Pakistan said in an apparent reference to India, "We are ready to talk with everyone, even with our neighbor provided the neighbor is serious about talking about serious issues, because war There is no option now." Sharif's comments came amid continuing strain in relations between India and Pakistan over several issues, including Kashmir, and Islamabad's continued support to cross-border terrorism. India has been saying that it desires normal neighborly relations with Pakistan, while also insisting that the onus lies on Pakistan to create an environment free of terror and hostility for such a relationship. India has also said that Jammu and Kashmir has always been, is and will remain a part of the country.
Know the meaning of this proposal in the last phase of the end of the tenure of the governmentThis comment of the Prime Minister of Pakistan has come at a time when the five-year term of the Parliament is being completed on August 12 and his coalition government is preparing to go to the polls. In such a situation, the question is also that if Shehbaz Sharif had to hold talks with India then why this offer was not made earlier. Now when PM Shahbaz has only 9 days left in the government, he has thrown away the dice of negotiation. It is being said that Pakistan's lower house National Assembly will be dissolved a few days before the end of its term to provide more time for the next election. At such a time, when Shehbaz Sharif cannot pave the way for talks with India even if he wants to, then why did he make such a statement? Well, there are many reasons for this. But one of the reasons is also that he wants to present himself as a liberal leader. They probably feel that Shahbaz can get the benefit of this in the elections. At the same time, he also wants to show the international community that Pakistan wants good relations with India, but India itself is not ready for talks.
