Joint StatementBy: Dr. Ram Chander Sharma | Friday , 17 Jul '09 14:59:46 PM Reply | Forward Divided families may meet again and in the process on Indo Pak relations the meaning of a dialogue is not just sitting across the table, but to resolve the six decade old issues. Well the Pakistan Govt seems to be a puppet and having no control over the jihadi terrorism unleashed all over Pakistan but India may not loose any stretegy to deal with the terrorism. The statement on Bloachistan is not a diplomatic but a well chosen move to keep both the windows open peace as well as threat. India should continue composite dialogue process.
India and BalochistanBy: Rajesh Vyas | Friday , 17 Jul '09 12:40:43 PM Reply | Forward How is India concerned with what is going on in Balochistan? It is an internal matter of Pakistan and they have to handle it. Why was a reference made to Balochistan in these futile talks between Manmohan and Gilani? Umpteen such meetings have taken place between the Pakistani and Indian heads of states but no result has emerged. Both the Governments in their respective countries are fooling their own people. While it may ne OKAY for the Pakistani Leadership to do this, India is a democratic Country and we demand explanations from the Prime Minister for this statement on Balochistan. Why are we not able to tell Pakistan that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!! Are we under pressure from the USA to resume talks with the ever hostile neighbour? If so, what do we get in return from the USA? The Government must come clean on this. The inclusion of Balochistan business is once again an utter failure of Indian Foreign Poicy and Indian Diplomacy.

BTW, the reason for 1965 War was because Pakistan wanted to divert attention from its atrocities in Balochistan.
