| US has suggested to Pakistan to hold talks with India within the ambit of Shimla agreement | | | The US has suggested to India and Pakistan to hold talks under the Shimla agreement and said it supported a direct dialogue between India and Pakistan as outlined in the Simla Agreement. There is no problem in hold talks between the two neighbours within the ambit of Shimla agreement. Washington has stated that the main disagreement for talks wrests in Pakistan because it has been exporting terror. The US has been asserting that the "chief obstacle" to talks remained Islamabad's continued support to extremist groups that engaged in cross-border terrorism.
Washington believes that direct dialogue between India and Pakistan, as outlined in the 1972 Shimla Agreement, holds the most potential for reducing tensions," Acting Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Alice G Wells told the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, and Nonproliferation of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
She said that during the 2006-2007 backchannel negotiations, India and Pakistan reportedly made significant progress on a number of issues, including Kashmir. But the issue of Kashmir has remained in the doldrums because talks have not succeeded and because of Pakistan exporting terror." Wells said in a prepared statement submitted to the Congressional subcommittee on the eve of the hearing 'Human Rights in South Asia: Views from the State Department and the Region'. "Restarting a productive bilateral dialogue requires building trust, and the chief obstacle remains Pakistan's continued support for extremist groups that engage in cross-border terrorism," she said.
If talks are held between the two neighbours and the threat of nuclear war gets averted .Even the LoC is a border of tension because to every ceasefire violations Indian troops retaliate and that too with venom. And all the super powers except for China favour talks between Pakistan and India. It is a matter of deceit and that despite the upper hand played by India on the LoC during any tension Pakistan is simply threatening to use nuclear weapons when all the super powers are with India because India has no role to play in harbouring terror camps. |
