This is the principal hurdle between any rapprochement between the two countries. BJP leadership is not even willing to sit with Pakistan. Unless the two countries talk with each other how can the issues between them be resolved

The mad media in India is beyond redemption but even the saner elements within it feign ignorance of Pakistan’s concerns re terrorism. They deliberately avoid discussing terrorism in Baluchistan and the fact that Indian intelligence officers have been apprehended sponsoring it.

This selective amnesia is hypocritical. Terrorism is not just one country’s problem as India pretends. Pakistan has lost thousands of lives with Indian footprint all over it.

A comprehensive dialogue to discuss all disputes is necessary between India and Pakistan. Pakistan has made the offer. India must respond. The problem: India rejects third party mediation but also refuses bilateral talks. Emphasises Simla globally yet refuses its basic tenets.

This contradiction will continue to keep South Asia hostage; can lead to more conflict, more suffering. Mature states talk and talk and talk some more. They always remain engaged. Pakistan has made the offer. India must respond.

Many many congratulations Sana Mir. You were not only an outstanding cricketer, your leadership put Pakistan women’s cricket on the global map

This govt is celebrating economic recovery despite : 1. Highest ever unemployment rate of 22% (29% for youth) 2. Highest number of poor below poverty line - 45% 3. Declining purchasing power for the middle class. All of the above means, worst ever economic misery for Pakistanis

Israel while carrying out a genocide in Gaza is now provoking a war with Iran. Sadly western media is parroting Israeli propaganda calling it preemptive strike. What preemption?? Iran was not getting ready to attack Israel. Is this a precursor to a larger conflict including US?

Israel has been emboldened as the world stood by and watched it carry out a genocide in Gaza. By attacking Iran it is now behaving like a regional thug, a hegemon and this should worry everyone in the Middle East. Is it ready to live with Israel’s perpetual domination? If not,

Israeli genocide in Gaza and unprovoked attack on Iran has exposed its truth to the world. Yesterday protests all over Europe against it.

It seems Israel has been able to drag US into its war against Iran. This is a dangerous escalation and prospect of any peace in the near future is over.

Israel is getting desperate. Iranian missiles are getting through the so called iron dome and pounding Israeli cities. The calculus of a long conflict is against it. That is why it is trying every trick in the book to pull US into the war. My bet: will not succeed.

Wars are judged by objectives achieved. Israel had two goals: destroy Irans nuclear program and bring about regime change. Failed in both despite US joining in at the end

‘I’m bored, so I shoot’ Israeli soldiers describe the near-total absence of firing regulations in Gaza, with troops shooting as they please, setting homes ablaze, and leaving corpses on the streets — all with their commanders’ permission. From July 2024. 972mag.com/israeli-soldie…
