Mr. Sharif had expected some positive outcome from his meeting with President Obama, but all in vain. I feel that the US has finally realized that the leaders of Pakistan are not to be trusted, and their litany of complaints and conditions are like a broken record. There is nothing new to discuss. Pakistan portrays a dual face and try to make a mockery of the civilized society. To discuss anything with the civilian government in Islamabad is a sheer waste of time because these leaders have no final authority to make a decision. All powers, especially on the foreign policy, rest with the nexus of military/ISI of Pakistan. What Mr. Sharif has stated in his joint statement in the White House is completely under pressure. He confirmed in that statement that Pakistani government will take severe action against LeT and other non-state actors, and also Pakistani territory will not be allowed to be used for militant acts against India. This is the guarantee given by Mr. Sharif before he departed for Pakistan. Does it mean now that there will be no ceasefire violations on the LOC? Of course, time will tell if Mr. Sharif can walk the talk. However, this writer has his own apprehension about the fulfillment of this promise from Mr. Sharif.
