Will Modi succeed
in signing peace treaty with Pak?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi behaves as if
he could move India towards better ties with Pakistan without help from anyone
else. What the Congress-led
government failed to do for ten years between 2004 and 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party and its Prime
Minister Modi seem able to do with ease.
The Congress is free to rue its missed
opportunities, but what it should not do is undermine the efforts of Modi since
he and his government are moving ahead in the right direction. The Congress,
instead of being openly uncomfortable to the extent of criticizing the
development of Modi seizing the initiative of doing something in the direction
of thawing the bilateral relations, had at least been circumspect in its
reactions, it would not have earned the distinction of being churlish and
regressive. The Congress needs to be steered along constructive lines if it has
to regain people's trust which is long way right now.
Modi has definitely stolen the show and
has put the diplomatic ball in Shariff's court. Now he has to rise to the
occasion and carry ahead the new rays of friendship by helping India catch the
terrorists thriving in Pakistan. Both India & Pakistan are going to gain
nothing out of hostility.
Modi needs the support of opposition
leaders to improve India’s relation with Pakistan. However, opposition and
Congress has been opposing his every move in the parliament and has paralyzed
it for the past 6 months.
Whether Modi is the right man to claim
credit for normalizing relations with Pakistan or nor, he has had the courage
to do something that the Congress was unable to. Modi did the
classy thing by stopping in Lahore. The Congress looked so unconvincing, when
their leaders tore into Modi. It is time for national interests to rise above
party's interests. Modi should sign a peace treaty with Pakistan next year and
stun the world.
