PM aide Denies Indian Media Reports claiming backchannel talks with Indian NSA

[CIA Mole]

indians need to stop lying.

Its all actually pretty inconsequential.

The LOC is well controlled. The real action was on the LAC.

The real story as far as Pakistan is concerned is that they were VERY careful to not make any sudden moves of men or material during these months.

That was clearly not missed by our boys.

Sometimes inaction speaks way louder than action does.

Cheers, Doc

Because Moeed by his position should be the one negotiating, not some general. At least that's how democratic governments work in this universe.

Let me help you understand the situation because now that Indian media was caught red handed with it's pants down (not the first time & apparently won't be the last)....
As per SOP, DGMO is the relevant party on both side of the border to address any cease fire violation. Unlike India,that revoked Article - 370, AJK on our side is autonomous & has it's own Democratic govt.

Dr.Mooed is Special Assistant to Prime Minister of 'Pakistan' on National Security & NOT SAPM to AJK.

Now let that sink in ....

I know Indians are hurt because their james bond fanboy moment blew right up in their face with this....

Something happened: It's because of Modi's policies
Nothing happened: It's because of Modi's policies

Your desperation to claim credit for anything and everything to butter India and Modi's rear end knows no bounds.

Then again, what else to expect from a country led by someone who claims ancient Hindus invented time travel, inter-planetary travel, the internet, plastic surgery etc etc etc

One of the biggest changes in Pakistan's approach to India under the PTI (versus under Nawaz Sharif or Zardari) is the fact that this government does not shy away from confronting India - diplomatically, militarily or in the media.

Not that any such talks would ever be made public but since this news came out of gutter of south Asian journalism i would give it as much credence as to horse $hit. Considering current state of affairs such talks hurt Modis standing so again i say this is horse $hit.

 

[Maarkhoor]

Once again - please stop using anything from the Indian media that references any actions or claims by Pakistan, other than to debunk Indian claims.

The degree of malevolent propaganda and outright lies from the Indian government, military and media is absurd.

What has occurred are DGMO talks through already established channels, and nothing new has transpired beyond the 'commitment to adhere to the ceasefire', as has been done several times in the past.

Let's see how long this lasts before Modi chooses to scapegoat and blame Pakistan to distract his domestic audience.

PM’s aide denies backchannel talks with Indian NSA yielded icebreaker
Denial came after Indian media claimed Ajit Doval, Dr Yusuf had been in touch directly & via interlocutors for months

KARACHI:
Pakistan’s security czar Dr Moeed Yusuf has dismissed the Indian media reports, claiming that Thursday’s icebreaker in the acrimonious relations between New Delhi and Islamabad is the result of some backchannel diplomacy.

Dr Yusuf’s statement came hours after top military officials from Pakistan and India spoke on phone and agreed to ensure strict observance of a 2003 truce along the Line of Control (LoC) where troops from both sides have frequently exchanged light and heavy weapon fire.

“I have seen claims by Indian media that attribute today’s ceasefire announcement between Pakistani and Indian DGMOs [director general military operations] to backchannel diplomacy between me and the Indian NSA [National Security Adviser],” Dr Moeed Yusuf, the special assistant to the prime minister on national security, wrote in a series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle.

“This is baseless. No such talks have taken place between me and Mr. Ajit Doval,” he added. He clarified that “the welcome development on the LoC is a result of discussions through the established channel of DGMOs”.

“Obviously, these are by their very nature not in the public eye and done privately and professionally through the direct channel,” he added.

Dr Yusuf recalled that Pakistan has continued to call for the 2003 ceasefire agreement to be honoured and “I am glad we have reached the understanding. It must be followed in letter and spirit”.

Frequent skirmishes on the LoC have taken a heavy toll on the civilian population living along the de facto border in Azad Kashmir. The clashes, however, became more frequent and deadlier in February 2019 when the two countries almost went to war Pakistani warplanes carried out a spectacular air raid deep inside Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and shot down two Indian jets in reprisal for a botched air strike by Indian air force in Balakot.

Earlier, Indian newspaper Hindustan Times claimed on the authority of “people aware of the matter” that the DGMOs contact came months after NSA Ajit Doval and his counterpart in Islamabad, Dr Moeed Yusuf, initiated backchannel conversations to ensure peace along the LoC.

Doval and Dr Yusuf have been in touch directly and via interlocutors from the intelligence community, a person familiar with the negotiations told HT. “Moeed Yusuf later confirmed that the two countries had been making efforts behind the scenes,” it claimed.

The joint statement is the first outcome of these conversations that included at least one face-to-face meeting in a third country, the person cited above said. He added that only a small group of topf government leaders including union home minister Amit Shah, defence minister Rajnath Singh and external affairs minister S Jaishankar were aware of the details of the talks.

Officials said Thursday’s joint statement could be the first of the many steps that the two countries may take over the next few months to normalise relations, one step at a time.

As i told on other thread peace on LOC for now just an Indian wish.....They spread this news in the hope we may validate it but there is no more Nawaz Shrief sitting here anymore.

There is something wrong in the title.

He is not NSA. Just a PM guy

Because Moeed by his position should be the one negotiating, not some general. At least that's how democratic governments work in this universe.

May ALLAH give me more patience. Ameen.

Don't need to thank me for walking extra miles with you. However, I will suggest you to ask for information instead of acting like you know it all. These are DGMO level meetings being held on the border and Dr. Moeed has nothing to do with it and I am sure you didn't even bother to read his portfolio as he is an aide to PM hence, a denial. This how these talks works in real world unlike hatful remarks merely to vent frustration.

From now on, either you understand.to how to ask question or you should search the web to educate yourself but do me a favour and don't quote me please. I still feel like I am talking to a wall.

I really don't understand the dynamics of Pakistan and China's civilian and military relationship, we know that immediately after India revoked the two articles a week after the number two man of the CMC Mr Xu Qiliang visited Pakistan's civilian and military leaderships, I am pretty sure that every decision that Pakistan and China has made since then regarding India is in accordance with each others interest with mutual agreements yet I don't really understand overall Pakistan's passiveness and Chinas aggression with respect to India.

 

[TheDebSahab]

Literally DGMOs doing what their literal job is. This doesn't concern Moeed Yusuf. This wasn't Diplomacy. This was simply an agreement between two people holding guns two maybe slow down the shooting.

Because Moeed by his position should be the one negotiating, not some general. At least that's how democratic governments work in this universe.
