As he lets the Anglo-Americans define specific anti-terror benchmarks to Zardari, the PM has done well to restate India’s firm commitment to revive the peace process and resolve the Kashmir question if Pakistan’s civilian government can get its internal act together and dismantle the expansive terror infrastructure on Pakistani soil. Speaking at an election rally in Kashmir on Sunday, the PM underlined the extraordinary progress made on Indo-Pak confidence-building in the contested state under the aegis of the UPA government. In keeping the doors open for peace talks, he is sending an important signal to Zardari that there will be political gains to reap if he does what is right for himself, his people and the region. As India, in cooperation with the Anglo-Americans, constructs a set of risks and rewards for Pakistan after Mumbai, it is now entirely up to Zardari to take the next steps.
