we
im not talking about FS meeting . Pakistan since many decade meet from huriyat . Evertime when Pakistan PM visit India they visit Huriyat. After such a long tym PM nawaz sharif decided not to meet them. That was taken as a sign of weakness and futher pressurize Pakistan. Nawaz sharif was expecting that by doing this he will create good will in India. But he was disappointed by indian response. He sensed that BJP dnt want to improve dialog and back home he was criticized for this friendly gesture. Seeing no response from India he regerted his decision and talk about Kashmir in UN. that is how it happened .
Nawaz took a bold step to go india after modhi was elected . He is seen as RSS back radical extremist in muslim community all over the world. But to normalize relationship he took all that critizsim and walked an extra mile . But what what did he get from visit nothing. Infact hostile indian media and diplomats tried to show that modhi was tough on Pakistan.
You are missing a key point. Modi put out a hand towards NS & Pakistan inspite of some fairly tough rhetoric before becoming PM. Subsequently, after the meeting with NS, he agreed to a meeting of the Foreign Secretaries. That is as big a step as can be taken & what did your government do? Grandstanding is all they did. The Hurriyat meeting is a red line drawn by this government & in any case there was no occasion for the Pakistani HC to meet them supposedly for consultation when Kashmir wasn't even being discussed. Further more, NS has been harping back to the Lahore agreement and refusing to continue where Musharraf left off. That is pretty much unacceptable to the government of India (both this & the previous one) but what finally led to the collapse was the repeated ceasefire violations which GoI saw as a means of applying pressure before the FS's meeting. NS & his team had been told that ceasefire violations would not be tolerated and when it happened, GoI decided that NS wasn't keeping his word or that the PA was not listening to him. Either way, talks would serve no purpose in such a situation, especially with NS under siege in his own capital.
While you look at events from a Pakistani perspective, it would be better not to get carried away by all this rhetoric about Modi. You need to step back from demonising the Indian PM to looking at facts as it exists.
