Till
the formation of a democratic government in Pakistan it appeared
that its attitude is positive towards India. Joint president
of PPP, Asif Ali Zardari had indicated that Pakistan would
develop better relations with India. Throwing the disputed
matters in dustbin he had expressed his intention to make
the bilateral relations good. But recently the Pakistani Prime
Minister expressed the necessity of public opinion on Kashmir
issue. Gilani had told that the sacrifice for Kashmir would
not be useless. Zardari who was ready to leave Kashmir issue
for next generation does not hesitate to tell India a better
friend, but on some disputed issues his intention is not clear.
It seems that Pakistan which is facing financial and internal
crisis has same intention as it had earlier. Even today Pakistan
does not want that peace should prevail in India. Whereas,
India's hands are open for friendship with Pakistan even today
and it wants that the Pakistani public may enjoy prosperity
and as the second biggest country of South Asia it should
pace towards progress. Pakistani army has started disturbing
peace at the borders. On Wednesday in Tangdhar area of Kashmir
there were exchange of fire from both sides but the firing
was started by Pakistani army. Earlier, two days back the
Pakistani rangers unnecessarily violated ceasefire agreement
and opened fire in Samba area of Kashmir. Meanwhile, a big
group had tried to intrude into the area but this was foiled
by our army. After Tangdhar incident the army officials called
an emergency meeting. Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary also said
that India would talk with Pakistan on intruding issue soon.
The most important thing is that Pakistani intelligence agency
ISI has not changed its attitude towards India. In such incidents
the indirect involvement of Pakistan can not be denied. If
Pakistan wants to maintain all-round relations with India
then it would have to stop supporting terrorists. Along with
this it should understand clearly that in this era of development
India would be its true friend in moving ahead together. So,
Pakistan should maintain peace on borders and it should give
up narrow thinking.
