Pakistan News: Former Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri has said that the relations between India and Pakistan are going through the worst phase in their history. However, he also expressed the possibility that there may be a sudden positive change in bilateral relations.
In the program ‘Pakistan-India Relations: Current Status and Further Raha’ organized by the Institute of Peace and Connectivity (IPAC) in Lahore, Kasuri stressed that mutual talks are the only way to resolve the pending issues of both countries.
This thing said about Kashmir issue
Describing India-Pakistan relations as one of the worst phase in history, former Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri said that even after the war, New Delhi and Islamabad used to come to the conversation table soon to restore the peace process.
Kasuri, president of the Institute of Peace and Connectivity (IPAC), said that if the two countries lose the opportunity to resolve mutual disputes peacefully, it would be unfortunate. He insisted that there is already an agreed blueprint in the form of a four -point formula for the possible solution of the Kashmir issue.
Masharraf’s formula mentioned
Former Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri mentioned the Kashmir solution suggested to India by former President Pervez Musharraf. Kasuri, who was the Foreign Minister from 2002 to 2007, said that he had worked on the peace process with the governments of former Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh. He expressed confidence that despite the current disappointing situation, most of the people of India want peace with Pakistan.
Relationships expected to improve
Kasuri said that despite the challenges and the current conflict, sudden positive changes in India-Pakistan relations are possible. He gave the example of a warm welcome in India and a sudden visit to Lahore in 2015, after Musharraf, who is called the architect of the Kargil war.
He claimed that according to reliable reports, Prime Minister Modi was planning to visit Pakistan in April 2021, where he was expecting to meet the then Prime Minister Imran Khan and restore peace process after visiting Hinglaj Mata Temple. Kasuri said that similar unexpected incidents can happen in future.
