Describing Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s rhetoric about accession of Kashmir to Pakistan as “ wishful thinking”, a leading Pakistani daily on Sunday said statements like these will invite “more trouble” for the country as well as for the Kashmiri people.
“It has become a norm for politicians to make unrealistic claims+ and repeat popular phrases+ for getting votes ... Talking about Kashmir’s accession with Pakistan is easy but nobody knows how it will happen,” the Daily Times said in an editorial referring to Sharif’s recent statement that Pakistan is waiting for the day when Kashmir becomes its part.
