What Mr. Sharif says makes sense as far as improving relations with India is concerned.  However, to make the issuance of visa an open-ended situation does not make sense at all.  It will make militants' life very easy to enter into the Indian territory at their own free will which means more headache for the Indian authorities.  It appears that Mr. Sharif has learnt lot of lessons from his failed foreign policy of 1999 and, hence the change in his attitude towards India.  However, even though his intentions seem to be on the right track, but he has a lot of opposition from the militants and brain-washed groups in Pakistan who are adamant to oppose any kind of amelioration of relationship between the two countries.  In addition to these militants, one ought not to ignore the opposition faced by the civilian government in Islamabad from the Military/ISI nexus on this issue.  Mr. Sharif is very wrong in comparing India with Pakistan when he told a journalist of Times of India that "India and Pakistan are mirror images of each other."  They are not mirror images of each other, Mr. Sharif.  There is a big difference in the size, economy, freedom - called real democracy, respect of established institutions, education and peaceful atmosphere etc.  India, therefore, needs to be very careful about what Pakistani government is trying to do under the disguise of these peaceful statements.  India should not agree to any discussion till Pakistan eradicates terrorism from its territory, dismantle all militants' training center, hand-over Dawood Ibrahimn to the Indian government.  THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR INDIA TO PLAY ITS CARDS RIGHT.
