Pakistan, India should withdraw troops from Siachen: Sharif
SKARDU: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday called on Pakistan and India to retract their troops from Siachen glacier, the disputed and undemarcated region of Kashmir.
Sharif, who was speaking during his visit to Giari sector, said that both countries should solve the Siachen issue and the billions of rupees being spent on the war should be directed towards people’s prosperity.
The PML-N leader visited the avalanche site and distributed cheques worth Rs500,000 to the families of the affected military and civilian personnel.
Sharif also announced that the Punjab government will provide jobs to the heirs and will also cover the educational expenses of their children.
He also said that terrorism in the country was proof of the government’s failure, adding that there was no trace of anything like a government in Chilas, Gilgit and Quetta.
A huge wall of snow crashed into the remote Siachen Glacier base high in the mountains in disputed Kashmir more than a week ago, smothering an area of one square kilometre (a third of a square mile).
Pakistan, India should withdraw troops from Siachen: Sharif – The Express Tribune
Now that's 2 articles i have put up where he hasnt said "Pakistan should take the first step".
Firstly i don't wish the truth to be distorted and secondly without doubt this response from a politician i believe is ill timed and more emphasis and respect should be directed at the work going on at Siachen. The sentiment he has of withdrawing etc can be saved for a later date.
