Mr. Fatemi's statement is very clear as respects to Pakistan's attitude towards improving relationship between India and Pakistan.  Pakistani leaders always address India as either an 'arch-rival' or 'enemy' of Pakistan.  With that kind of sentiment and spewing of venom, how can one expect to see any possibility of amelioration of relationship between these two countries?  At least this writer, even though a positive thinker, does not see it happening in the near future.  Mr. Fatemi shifts the blame of this recent cancellation of high level meeting between the officials of both the nations on the meeting of Pakistani official with the separatists leaders of J & K.  However, he forgets that these are the separatists leaders who are creating anarchy in that part of India- of course with the full abetment and financial support of Pakistan. How can India allow Pakistani officials to continue meeting with these trouble makers or should I say the stooges of Pakistan on an Indian ground?  Since India is 100% against terrorism and allowing such meetings defeats India's purpose of achieving success in this respect.  I am glad that Mr. Fatemi's statement clarified as to how authoritative Pakistani military establishment is while alluding to the failure of an effort on the part of ex- President Mr. Musharraf to propose initiating steps to improve relations with India.  Even though it was no secret, but he again confirmed it.  It seems Pakistan has closed its door and there is not going to be any step taken by them to pursue any further discussion to improve relations with India - which I think is good for India.  India ought not to extend any olive branch to Pakistan until there is an improvement on all the points what Mr. Modi discussed with President Obama in the US in September 2014.  As we all know, Pakistan is a failed economy, floating and surviving with the help of petro-dollars.  I am sure with the oil price heading south and an anarchy in Pakistan, the cash flow will shrink to a greater extent and Pakistan is going to cave in under its own problems.  Pakistan does not need any external 'enemy' or 'arch-rival', it is its own enemy.
