Pakistan
People's Party (PPP) in neighbouring Pakistan is preparing
to form a new government. The joint president of PPP, Asif
Ali Zardari has opined that the solution to the Kashmir issue
be left on the new generation. In his interview to a news
channel, he said that leaving out the Kashmir issue we should
work towards strengthening mutual relations and trade ties
with India. Asif Ali Zardari also said that solution to the
Kashmir issue was unlikely with military government in saddle
in Pakistan. How much progress was there in solution of J-K
during 8 years of military rule in Pakistan, asked Zardari.
The relations of both the countries cannot be sacrificed on
the Kashmir issue. Asif Ali Zardari who is impressed by the
UPA president, Sonia Gandhi, said that he could not be equal
to her. He has great respect for Sonia Gandhi. He also wishes
to play the same role in Pakistan as of Sonia Gandhi vis-à-vis
coalition government. PPP wants to give command to such a
coalition government which can go ahead with its several allies.
Zardari has expressed hope that when the new Prime Minister
would get invitation from India then he would visit India
with all the political party leaders. With this initiative
of Zardari a new hope has emerged that Indo-Pakistan relations
would yield new leaves. There is no doubt that India has been
in favour of maintaining good relations with neighbouring
countries. Earlier too, India had not lagged behind in taking
initiatives for maintaining good relations with Pakistan.
It would be good if a powerful coalition government forms
in Pakistan and according to the desire of Zardari the relations
between both the countries on trade and mutual relations get
strengthened.
