Modi Invited Pakistan PM for 26 May Ceremony

[Prometheus]

Politicians tell lies, that's what they are good at promising a rosy picture, a golden path till they have your vote.

Reality is very different, we got promised free and fair elections, bullet trains and end to energy crisis, what we got is rigging, Chinese sub standard trains that broke down and increase in load shedding.

Not much different to what you got offered and what you will get.

sssshhhhh .....dont say like this .....u will hurt feelings of Modi bhakts ............they treat him like god

India's Modi invites Nawaz to swearing-in: party

NEW DELHI: Indian prime minister-elect Narendra Modi has invited Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to his swearing-in ceremony next Monday, his party said, in a bold diplomatic statement that he intends to improve strained ties.

Nirmala Sitharaman, spokesperson for Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), told AFP Wednesday that all heads of government from the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) “have been given invitations to be present at Mr Modi’s swearing in.”

The move, yet to be confirmed by Pakistan or other members of the eight-nation grouping, signals that Modi is intent on tackling India’s most troubled bilateral relationship at a time when Sharif is also keen on talks, analysts say.

“I think it is a very important gesture,” said Manoj Joshi, a fellow at the Observer Research Foundation, a New Delhi-based think-tank.

“It definitely shows Modi’s intentions to focus on immediate neighbours and it is a realistic signal; realism in the sense that unless you have good relations with neighbours you can hardly focus beyond,” he said.

Modi is to take the oath as prime minister next Monday, 10 days after a landslide win for the Hindu nationalist BJP which secured the first majority by a single party in 30 years.

The hardline leader was expected to usher in a more muscular foreign policy, insisting on the campaign trail that other countries would respect India only if it showed strong political leadership.

A senior official from India’s foreign ministry told AFP that it was examining a proposal to welcome foreign heads of governments next Monday, but said that invitations had not yet been sent.

Pakistani foreign ministry spokesperson Tasnim Aslam also said that no invitation had been received.

“There is no invitation yet, they have announced in the media that they are inviting.”

Sharif, who is himself a centre-right leader, has hailed Modi’s “impressive victory” with many diplomats hoping the two men can engineer a thaw in ties between the nuclear-armed neighbours.

Sharif has cited his working relationship with Atal Bihari Vajpayee, India’s last prime minister under the right-wing BJP, as a reason for optimism, according to diplomatic sources.

In 1999 during Sharif’s second term in power, Vajpayee rode a bus to Lahore to sign a peace accord, raising the prospect of normalised ties.

Three months later, the countries embarked on the Kargil conflict in the Himalayan region of Kashmir.

India and Pakistan have fought three full fledged wars since independence in 1947 and bilateral ties broke down after attacks on Indian commercial hub Mumbai in 2008 in which 166 people were killed by gunmen.

Relations have warmed slightly since under outgoing prime minister Manmohan Singh, but remain frosty amid mutual distrust and regular skirmishes on their disputed border in Kashmir.

Modi had warned during campaigning that talks could not be held with Pakistan until all violence stopped.

Key issues confronting the relationship remain the disputed Kashmir region, as well as militancy inside India which New Delhi frequently accuses Pakistan of backing.

While Pakistan’s civilian leaders and business community are in favour of closer ties, many ordinary people revile Modi, who is tainted by communal riots in his home state of Gujarat 12 years ago that killed 1,000 people, mostly Muslims.

I wouldnt call it double standards yet. All the SAARC leaders have been invited nothiing special about NS. Moreover I think we can expect him to work on the issue of 26/11 only after he takes the chair officially. Till now it would be wrong to be judgemental.



...and why you think so sir ???

i said this so because we already have some serious internal maters to be dealt with first which include Indian Involvement in GEO's case. If Nawaz goes to India all the Pakistani media will go nuts on him.I hope sir its better for u to understand now. Peace.

I knew it, BJP play anti-muslim and Pakistan to get votes but in reality one can expect both countries to get closer when BJP is in power. While congress is much more anti-Pakistan. Also no one will question Modi hinduism if he invite Pakistani PM which congress has never done. While similar gesture by congress will mean hindutvas will riots.

 

[paranoiarocks]

Its a Good diplomatic move @ranjeet @Roybot

Nawaz will not come and we will send out the message in world

Ajit Dowal met modi and then he did this ,clearly scripted out to send out to world that looks we are not the problem

 

[Pakistanisage]

There is no earthly reason for Nawaz Sharif NOT to accept the Invitation. Governments should continue to talk to each other even in the worst of circumstances. That is exactly what Diplomacy demands. Elected Officials would be derelict in their duty if they did not talk with their adversaries.

 

[BUZDIL]

he will not come i guess

 

[SBD-3]

And it happened as i expected. A welcoming gesture by Modi.....I hope and wish a new chapter of friendly relationships opens up in his tenure.
