Push India, Pak to fix Kashmir: Saudi prince to Obama

New Delhi: In what is being seen here as a disturbing indication of Indian diplomacy falling short of expectations in the Middle-East, one of Saudi Arabia’s most powerful and influential royal family members Turki al-Faisal has openly urged US President Barack Obama to push India and Pakistan to “fix” the  ....Read more

The Solution is for Pakistan to vacate POKBy: khandu patel | Thursday , 15 Oct '09 2:19:13 AM Reply | Forward Turki al-Faisal obviously does not realise the ground realities of any Indian government at the centre. Pakistan when it had the chance in 1947 reneged on the terms of the UN brokered ceasefire. It has since then signed the Simla accord with India treating Kashmir as bilateral issue between them. The US simply has no more standing on the issue than Saudi Arabia which has consistently backed Pakistan. If Saudi Arabia hopes to get the Americans to do the dirty work for them by twisting India's arm to yield on the issue, well, there are limits to what America would do for them. There are limits even to American diplomacy at the best at times on issues on which India and America converge. Kashmir for that reason is a non-starter. India would appreciate American investments in India's nuclear generation capacity, but it is hardly going to shake in its boots if American companies cut their noses to support Pakistan on Kashmir.
Push India, Pak to fix Kashmir: Saudi prince to ObamaBy: Ratan Gupta | Wednesday , 14 Oct '09 20:49:00 PM Reply | Forward Being the most influential Moslem country, by far the most critical supplier of the most strategic commodity, being the center of Islam, sitting on a cash amount of 1 trillion dollars, sitting upon the resources no less than 40 trillion dollars, Saudis have lots of weight in the international arena. Read between the lines. They have refused to support Pakistan blindly. Instead they are pushing America to join for a mutual solution. This is a great news for India and Pakistan's foreign policy is failed. Had Saudis supported the Pakistani position, yes, I could have said that we lost the ground. We Indians should grab this opportunity and resolve Kashmir for good. In exchange we can ask cash rich Saudis to invest 2 trillion dollars in the next 10 years on our infrastructure. We need to build 1 to 2 thousand satelite cities in order to beat China. Each city will get no more than 5 lakh of population with strict laws. Move on now.
Saudi or Shoddy ArabiaBy: Mohan | Wednesday , 14 Oct '09 19:37:01 PM Reply | Forward The cat is out and rarely Saudi's talk openly. They have done all the dirty deeds for the West and compromised on true Arab and Muslim interests. Why dont they show the same resolve to solve Arab Israel problem. Muslims do not want to live inharmony with the rest of the world. Their internal problems are being put under their dirty carpet and they want non-muslims destroyed! What a crazy idea! Firstly they must understand the true spirit of their own religion and interpret the Holy Koran in its true meaning which will bring peace to themselves so that they can live in harmony with themselves and nonmuslims. So whay do Saudis do not take step in the right direction rather than meddle in others affairs

Stinking PakBy: Hero Vaz | Saturday , 17 Oct '09 23:32:46 PM Reply | Forward If there is one country that stinks with corruption, with liars and dishonourableness, it is Pakistan and this in spite of the fact that the Pakis call their country theocratic and Islamic. What a rotten shame.

Failure of the Foreign Ministry teamBy: Joseph | Wednesday , 14 Oct '09 15:47:32 PM Reply | Forward Team Manmohan,With all the due respect, we have to accept Mr Krishna and the cattle class minister ( I dont remember his name - who cares!!! )are big failures. They fancy living in 5-star hotels and enjoying their life in beaches. Let them retire in beaches, please get a new team to defend India.Dont let India down.
Poor very Soon..By: Nimbu pani | Wednesday , 14 Oct '09 15:46:55 PM Reply | Forward Don't be suprised if the Saudis stand in line behind the Pakis with a begging bowl for dole from the US.It's just the question of another year by which time alternate enery will be found.It will be time to go back to the desert and live the life of their grandfathers.....
IdiotsBy: Ash | Wednesday , 14 Oct '09 15:36:47 PM Reply | Forward Idiots have chosen another Idiot party to rule them. What did u expect from these spineless congresswalas. They only know to kowtow to foreigners. Congress will give away Kashmir just to please pak and muslims. I sincerely hope I am wrong.
Suaudi princeBy: Clifford Fernandes | Wednesday , 14 Oct '09 15:31:20 PM Reply | Forward Saudi Prince should first look at is own country where people have no freedom of speech or as a matter of fact no freedom to do anything. How dare he to advise any democrecy in the world.Put your own house in order first mate.
Pak a dalal of India?By: Rajat | Wednesday , 14 Oct '09 15:26:49 PM Reply | Forward It appears that Pak has put Kashmir (India) in the list of auction. The buyers China and US lures Pak by offering to give trillions of dollars. China on the other hand imagines Pak as its ally whereas Pakistan is happy to go with US and ditch China. Pak is fooling both China and India as both are unislamic nation and Pakistan is a declared Islamic nation i.e Islamic republic of Pak. If not Y can’t Pak remove the name of Islam from its name?
