It is very interesting that after four years the Pakistani Government has finally accepted the fact that it was Pakistan's land where the Pakistani militant groups trained, abetted, financed and monitored the activities of the perpetrators of 26/11 attack on Mumbai.  It is better late than never.  It is also true that both the governments are trying to make the process of issuance of visas as well as the trades little bit more easier and manageable than before.  But this writer has some apprehension about this whole process of so-called an effort of improving relations between India and Pakistan.  This exercise of ameliorating relationship is not new.  It has been attempted before via. Smjauta train and trade agreements, and we all know that the expected results were never seen.  So what new one can expect this time - nothing in my opinion.  While initiating these actions, Pakistan is trying to appease its own people due to an impending election.  These are simply diplomatic and political moves without any intended fruitful results.  Hence, the Indian Government needs to be very cautious while issuing visas and caving in on other issues.  As the world knows, the puppet government in Islamabad cann't function on its free will without getting a nod from the nexus of ISI/Military and the outlawed groups.  This writer holds a firm view that the Indian government ought not to extend an olive branch to Pakistan unless the latter initiates some sincere and concrete actions to eradicate terror menace from its territory.  A SHEER EXERCISE OF HOLDING THESE SUMMIT MEETINGS WITH THE HOPE THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN WILL IMPROVE IS A WASTE OF TIME, ENERGY AND RESOURCES WHICH CAN BE DIVERTED TOWARDS OTHER IMPORTANT DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN ISSUES.
