Tharoor's video address abruptly cut off for criticising Pakistan

Islamabad: Union Minister Shashi Tharoor's video address to an Indo-Pakistan entrepreneurs' event in Islamabad on Tuesday was abruptly cut off after he lambasted the Pakistani government for ceasefire violations on the LoC and suggested the civilian administration did not control the military. Though the event was billed as a peace initiative on the economic front, Minister for State for HRD Tharoor surprised many, including the Indian delegation, as he took on the Pakistani administration. India is committed to resolve all issues with Pakistan, including the Kashmir dispute, through dialogue on the basis of the Simla Agreement but an environment free from terror and violence is needed for this, he said. "However, the Mumbai attacks five years ago and the recent LoC incidents have shown a gap between Pakistan's official statement and military s action...(This) suggests the civilian government, even if sincere, is not entirely in control of the security apparatus," he said in the pre-recorded speech. Tharoor began his address by emphasising the need to strengthen bilateral trade but later took a harder line and suggested what the Pakistani government should do. "It will help the Pakistan government, facing home-grown terrorists even as they export terror to neighbours", if there is more willingness to join the quest for peace, he said. "The moment the Pakistani establishment genuinely discards terrorism as an instrument of state policy, the prospect of peace will dawn on the subcontinent." Though the event was billed as a peace initiative on the economic front, Tharoor surprised many as he took on the Pakistani administration. Tharoor said Pakistan was "unfortunately" pursuing the flawed policy of selectively targeting some terrorists and extremists and "ignoring or actively supporting others". Unlike in Pakistan, the Indian Army does not "make foreign policy", which is the prerogative of the elected civilian government that is determined to engage in dialogue, he told the audience of about 300 at Jinnah Auditorium. The atmosphere in the auditorium became a bit tense during Tharoor's speech and the video was cut off after about nine minutes. The audience included 22 Indian delegates and officials of the Indian High Commission, including envoy TCA Raghavan. Pakistan's policy for tackling terrorism is undermining its own internal security and endangering peace and security in the neighbourhood, Tharoor contended. What was needed is "sincere acceptance by the Pakistani military establishment that those who attacked the Taj (hotel) in Mumbai are just as much their enemy like those who bombed the Marriott in Islamabad", he said. Shaban Khalid, president of the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry that organised the event, said the atmosphere had soured as a platform for peace was used for making "political speeches". Later, one of the leaders of the Indian delegation said that whatever be the government's official position, the young entrepreneurs were in Pakistan to promote peace. This was greeted by a huge round of applause. Before being cut short, Tharoor said India does not accept arguments that transgressions on the LoC or incidents of unprovoked firing are the handiwork of non-state actors. "Everything along the LoC is firmly under the control of the army on both sides," he said. Tharoor said it troubles India that the Pakistan government is "either unable or unwillingly to act against terrorists and militants emanating from their territory, the so called non-state actors that are said to be out of its control". Firing across the LoC has gone up in recent weeks and "cannot certainly be attributed to non-state actors", he said. Progress in the investigation and trial of seven Pakistanis accused of involvement in the Mumbai attacks is an important step by which India will judge Pakistan's commitment to combat terrorism on its soil. "The case has moved at a glacial pace. The trial has been subjected to repeated adjournments due to non-appearance of lawyers and frequent changes of prosecution lawyers," he said. "Pakistan must show tangible movement in bringing all those responsible for the Mumbai attacks, including those on trial, to justice quickly." Continued terrorism from Pakistan remains a core concern for India and it is critical for the region that Islamabad takes determined action to dismantle all terror networks, organisations and infrastructure within its territory. "Pakistan must also uphold the sanctity of the LoC, which is the most important confidence-building measure between two countries. This includes ending unprovoked firing on our posts, and ending repeated transgressions at the LoC by the Pakistani Army...," he said. He also pitched for talks with Pakistan, saying, "Not talking to Pakistan is not much of a policy which has been tried for years."

India, Pakistan agree to resume LoC trade
Srinagar : Indian and Pakistani authorities have agreed to resume cross-Line of Control (LoC) trade on Srinagar-Muzaffarabad route from Thursday.

"The trade on Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road will resume from Thursday," a senior official said after a meeting with PoK officials at Kaman Post.

The meeting was called to end the deadlock over the cross-LoC trade.

The PoK authorities had suspended trade and travel between the divided parts of Kashmir on January 17 after 114 packets of brown sugar were recovered from a truck carrying goods from Muzaffarabad to Uri.

The driver of the truck was also arrested. After three rounds of talks, the PoK authorities agreed to resume the bus service but remained adamant over their demand for release of the arrested PoK driver.

The standoff between the two sides left 75 drivers – 48 from PoK and 27 from Indian side of Kashmir – stranded on the other side of the LoC as Pakistani authorities refused to

let them return to their hometowns.

India-Paki relations are at historic crossroads. It was Wash.DC+Riyadh+Islamabad Axis that was needed by West in the past..to undermine and keep India under pressure. But, in last 12 years, radical,terrorist Islamic ideology has shocked the West and Wash DC has to backtrack from its old, failed policy of using Saudi and Paki against India. Moreover, the snakes(terrorists) Paki fed to bite India has started biting Paki itself.
Now, Paki has two choices....first..to finish the snakes and be a moderate, democratic nation ...and second...to get more radicalized and disintegrate into pieces. WASH DC , now, wants Paki to follow the first path as a fanatic, radical ,islamist Paki can be a danger to Wash DC's child with special needs. that is Israel. China is very clear in its opinion..it does not support a radicalized , islamist Paki...... it's Saudi royal family ( a puppet of Wash DC) which might like to keep wahabi influence in Paki to keep it under control. With all their differences, US, Russia,India and China ...all are in consensus that primitive, radical Islam, esp Sunni brand , is a threat to entire Human race. Paki economy will keep going down if Paki does not leave the path of radical ,terrorist ideology. It's time ,Paki should stop its "hate India" policy as it can lead to end of Paki sooner than you think.

Yes the trade and people to people contact must be maintained.

Politically, I do not see India/Pakistan relationship normalizing in near future. It will remain a very tense relationship.

However we must play a long term game and be patient. There is good possibility of the situation resolving India's way.

India should curb all the economic activities which benefits pakistan, we should pakis as weak as possible because if their economic condition improves, they will purchase more arms & target India.

India should use all its guile to punish pakistan in what ever way possible. Healthy pakistan is not good for India. If India is not able to do anything better we just keep quite till pakis crumble & disintegrate into pieces.

No. I think trade should continue. The most important is transit of goods through Pakistan and Afghanistan.
We have no need to punish Pakistan. Pakistan is very good in punishing itself.
