Pakistani authorities have the right to allow and not to allow on their TV channels predicated on what they think is good or not good for their people.  There is nothing wrong.  If they do not like the contents of Indian TV or cinema, it is OK.  There is a very large and vast market available for the Indian cinema products to sell on worldwide basis.  Indian producers do not have to hold their breath for the loss of Pakistani market which is not very big to start with.  It is loss to the Pakistani government and Pakistani actors who would love to come to India and work in the entertainment industry.  India should also ban everything being televised and shown in India which originates from Pakistan

If there is any validity in the Oxford Study Report, then India should be ready to face ISIS terrorist activities on their front door.  We know the current Prime Minister - Imran Khan - is a puppet of the Pakistani nexus of Pakistani military/ISI group and will be dancing on the tune of this group as long as he is there.  A recent live example shows it very clearly when Chief of Pakistani Army Mr. Bajwa selected Director of ISI without even checking with Mr. Imran Khan as to who should be appointed for this position.  If tomorrow Mr. Hafiz Saeed is make to sit on the Prime Minister throne, then God bless the region.  I hope the western word takes a serious note of this and initiate remedial measures urgently to stop this happening.  Of course, needless to say, Pakistan is an epic center of terrorism, but some body has to stop it before it gets worse.  It is needed for the sake of safety, peace and prosperity of the whole world.  Because once the nuclear war starts irrespective where it originates from, it will mean annihilation, complete destruction all over and for the coming generations also.

The tripartite meeting among India-China-Japan officials is very helpful so long as it is based on sincerity and honesty. The reason I used those words - sincerity and honesty- because so many summit meetings have taken place between India and China to resolve border disputes, but all in vain. India ought not to forget what China did in 1962 - rest is history. Unless China withdraws its claim and defense forces from the Kashmir and other areas of Indian territory, there is no reason to cave in and sign any agreement with the Chinese authorities. If Japan or any other nation can pressure China to vacate those territories, I think without any ambiguity, this agreement will bring peace and prosperity in the region. Is China ready to help bring tranquility in the region?

The Pakistani government run by PTI by announcing that the non-state fanatic terrorist actors are free to operate shows that Pakistan is a territory available to the terrorists to move around on their free will.  This order is against what the UN authorities had promulgated in the past about these terrorists.  The US government has $25 million bounty on the leader of JuD and Let.  It seems that these terrorists organizations are untouchable because they are being used as Pakistani army's proxies against India.  The newly elected Prime Minister, Mr. Imran Khan, is a puppet of the Pakistani army and has no say in this matter.  In short, what it means is that there will be violations on the LoC and there is no way Pakistan can be a sincere and legitimate partner to negotiate peace in the region.For the USA, it is a hint not to expect any change in the Pakistani policy as far as eradicating terrorism from the region.  They will keep killing the NATO forces in Afghanistan with the help of Haqquani group.  Since Pakistan is in dire need of hard cash, the US government should not extend any loan offer to them, and also put pressure on Saudi Arabia to tighten their purse while discussing this with the Pakistani authorities.

On the paper, this agreement between India and China may sound good which includes a provision to fight against terrorism together.  However, I wonder if this means that China will not support non-state terrorists in Pakistan who are creating havoc on the LoC.  Does it also mean that China will declare the activities of heads of JeM, Let and other such organization as illegal?  Is this agreement based on some sincere desire to eradicate terrorism from the region or is it just an eyewash to placate their own people and divert the attention to some other avenue?This writer is very apprehensive about the intention of Chinese government.India should not cave in under the pretext of this agreement unless India observes real efforts on the part of Chinese authorities to help India about eradicating terrorism.

CPEC loan/investment is a honey-trap for Pakistan.  The loan has been given to Pakistan at a very high interest rate along with many other stringent conditions.  They are building coal generated energy plants in Pakistan whereas they are getting out of this source of energy in China because of environmentally damaging effect of it.  Under no circumstances, Pakistan will be able to pay back that loan to China which means Pakistan has to cave in and lease Pakistani territory around CPEC to China on a long term basis.  Pakistan should have learnt this lesson from Sri Lanka, Angola, Malasia, Indonesia where China tried to play the same trick of investing money to upgrade infrastructure in those territories.Unfortunately, that analysis was not done and now they are in the lap of their big brother China for ever
