Sir — This refers to the article “Getting India to talk with a gun to its head will not work now” (October 10) by Deepak Sinha. The Union Government has changed hands, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been to many neighouring countries with a view to propagate affinity with them, but outlandishly, one of them seems to be taking New Delhi’s goodwill gesture for granted, as it is evident from Mr Bilawal Bhutto’s recent rantings against India on the Kashmir issue.
Moreover, amid the facade of a good rapport with India, the Pakistani Army is hell-bent upon violation of the ceasefire. While China’s incursions are continuing, despite a goodwill visit to Delhi by the Chinese President Xi Jinping.
There’s no denying to the fact that people in both the contiguous countries, expect their leaders to resume talks for maintaining peace and bilateral ties in the region but it can not be afforded to on the gunpoint.
