The meeting being arranged between the Foreign Ministers of India and Pakistan is another futile attempt to solve unsolvable issues between India and Pakistan. Ms. Khar, the Foreign Minister of Pakistan, states that India should forget terrorism because it is in the past and India should move ahead thinking on the issue of terrorism 'realistically'. I am not sure what 'realistically' here means. Does it mean that India should forget the innocent lives lost in the Mumbai attack or should India not worry about the support of the Pakistani government to the militants in Pakistan who were responsible to plan, arrange, finance and orchestrate the 26/11 attack or should India ignore the inaction of the Pakistani government to bring the known and proven culprits to books. What does it mean - may be Ms. Khar can elaborate on it? Exchange of dialogues is a good way between two parties to resolve their outstanding issues. But the solutions to problems can be found only if there is a sincere seriousness on both sides. Since, for selfish reasons. the militant groups who are controlling the government in Islamabad do not want any improvement in relations between India and Pakistan, how can Ms. Khar or for that matter any other officials come to the negotiating table with 'no authority' to achieve this goal- impossible. All the time, the basic ingredients - authority and seriousness - have been lacking on the part of Pakistani delegation. Hence, no solutions to common problems have been found since 1947. Is it not a waste of time, effort and resources? INDIA OUGHT TO SWITCH GEAR AND CONCENTRATE ON OTHER DOMESTIC ISSUES INSTEAD.
