India rejects Pakistan peace plan; calls for revival of terrorism talks
233
WASHINGTON: India on Thursday rejected a four-point peace plan for Kashmir proposed by Pakistan but said talks among officials of both countries on terrorism that collapsed in August should be revived.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced his proposal at the annual United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, saying the two nuclear-armed countries should formalise a ceasefire in Kashmir and take steps to demilitarise the divided region.

India issued a swift rebuttal, accusing Pakistan of claiming to be the primary victim of terrorism while “in truth, it is actually a victim of its own policy of breeding and sponsoring terrorists.”
On Thursday, Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj told the General Assembly that India remained open to dialogue, “but talks and terror cannot go together.”
“We don't need four points, we need just one: Give up terrorism and let us sit down and talk,” she said.
Swaraj said the talks between national security advisers on all issues related to terrorism should be held, as well as an early meeting of senior military officials to address the situation on the border.
“If the response is serious and credible, India is prepared to address all outstanding issues through a bilateral dialogue,” she said.
Planned talks between national security advisers from India and Pakistan were canceled in August hours before they were due to start, dashing hopes the two might tackle the violence that many fear could one day spark a nuclear showdown.
In the talks, India had wanted only to discuss terrorism-related issues. Pakistan sought a wider agenda, including the status of Kashmir.
India and Pakistan have fought three wars since becoming independent countries in 1947, two of them over the Himalayan region of Kashmir, which both claim in full but rule in part.
Sharif, elected in 2013, promised to improve relations with India. But since then domestic troubles have forced him to cede more control over foreign and security policy to Pakistan's military. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a hard line with Pakistan, insisting he is unwilling to discuss other issues unless Pakistan admits its role in terror attacks in India.
India's Ministry of External Affairs made it clear that Sharif's proposal was a non-starter.
“To de-militarize Kashmir is not the answer,” ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup said in a tweet. “To de-terrorize Pakistan is.”

India & Pakistan are engaged in a classic game of chicken with neither wanting to concede any advantage to the other. India wants Pakistan to take action against terrorists which target India before talking about resolving Kashmir AND Pakistan wants India to talk about resolving Kashmir before it takes action against India specific terrorism. Both are waiting for the other to blink but both are the losers here. IMO looking at the internal & external strengths of the two countries, India can afford to wait out much longer than Pakistan can. I hope better sense prevails and both sides come to their senses soon.

With all due respect but Mrs Swaraj is a lady with little to none diplomatic acumen. India failed to understand that their defensive response is nothing but a win for Pakistan here. Both sides were well aware that practical solutions are still far fetched, but Pakistan wants to internationalize Kashmir & Siachen issues all while exposing India's non-seriousness regarding resumption of diplomatic talks. India who all we hear about from Indians is for economy and progressive issues, actually caught napping here. They wouldn't have to say anything in response to Nawaz Sharif speech and it wouldn't have made a penny of difference, instead Mrs. Swaraj went defensive and actually substantiated Pakistan's concern. That is basic diplomacy Mrs. Swaraj, unfortunately you lost here and couldn't catch Pakistan's bluff.

Since it's approach is definitely not working for Pakistan, a different direction should be considered.

Very fair retort to diversionary tactics of Pakistan. Breeding, training, sheltering terrorists and sponsoring terror activities in neighboring countries and around the world is the basis on which Pakistan has earned global fame and renown. The world acknowledges the same, well aware of how the most dreaded OBL , Haqqani network and Mullah Omar were protected.
If the intentions are to resolve differences then blackmail using terror assets needs to be shed. India is committed to ridding South Asia from the scourge of sponsored terrorism, any country willing to join hands will be welcome. Past policies have brought only misery for Pakistan. Without changing course the same can only continue.

@wasi quresghi we want peace, and we have learned that just by giving blood to Mosquitos (that is terrorism) we can't avoid dengue.. We just need to eliminate Mosquitos and their breeding ground... Sanitize the environment and dengue will go after that only peace will come...
Breeding ground of terrorism is Pakistan, you have created them in hope to keep Kashmir issue alive and in return facing more problem yourself...now can't stop them and you are hoping that if Kashmir get solve hope you can control these menace ... Which is wrong startegy.. You have seen result of that stupid strategy of Zia in Afghanistan...

Actually Pakistan played its card today...
NEW YORK: Adviser to the Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs, Sartaj Aziz has said that dossiers containing proof of Indian involvement in terrorist activities in Pakistan have been handed over to the United Nations.
Briefing the media men here, Sataj Aziz said three dossiers were handed over to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon by Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, Maliha Lodhi.
He said the dossiers contained evidence of Indian involvement in the acts of terrorism in Balochistan, Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Karachi. “India is providing help to terrorists in Balochistan, FATA and Karachi,” he added.
The Foreign Advisor said India has been violating the ceasefire agreement with Pakistan at the Line of Control (LoC) and that foreign ministers of 15 countries have been apprised of the Indian aggression in Pakistan.

Actually the Indian response is quite understandable if we consider that Indians want to maintain status quo and it is the status quo they want to live in. They have not noticed that we Pakistanis have moved on and are fighting our terror outfits without discrimination.
Irony is that the biggest loser in this all will be no one else but India as brining itself to the level of a small neighbour it is sending message to the world that it is still a child trapped in a big boy's body. And keeping on the track that Pakistan has chosen, it will gain all the moral ground lost due to its faulty past policies at the cost of India.
May Modi sarkar keep India on such idiotic track forever as it will indirectly help Pakistan by making India look like a country that cannot maintain its position in its backyard let alone on a world stage.
Last point I want to say is that keeping Pak-Ind dialogue exclusively bilateral is not working even if it was agreed. If not working then changed it.

Kashmir would not have been erased from the earth had Pakistan not objected to India s terms for talks,is not involving the Hurriyat first and agreeing to talks on terror. Now Pakistan has gone to the UN with proof of India's activities, why could it not have discussed that first with India. As for the Hurriyat what prevents video conference with them
Its all finding excuses not to talk,there is no sincerity.

I agree....but for the both of sides to start the actions simultaneously, Pakistan should deterrorize itself by stopping funding separatists....at the same time india should create the peaceful atmosphere for the dialogue to happen.

Does ever Pakistani establishment think why India deployed its troops in Kashmir? It's due to the militancy. Would Pakistan deploy its troops or not to maintain law and order if the Kashmir type militancy happens there?

Pakistanis still do not get it. Their country is a basket case and they are in denial and continue to believe the conspiracy theories. As much as India wants to get the part of Kashmir ceded to China and occupied by China and Pakistan, Pakistan want to get the Kashmir from India, nothing will change even 50 years from now.
What will change in 50 years is that India's GDP will be around $70 Trillion and is likely to be the largest economy in the world. It will also be a military superpower.
If Pakistan continues this path it will be a $1Trillion economy in 50 years and Pakistanis will want to move to India to improve the lives of their families just like mexicans immigrate to US.
India will have to erect a physical/virtual wall to prevent the exodus of people from Pakistan.
Keep doing what you are doing Pakistan! That is the worst course for you to lead your people to!

@Zak "Peace along border and in South Asia is tied with Kashmir issue, once Kashmir belongs to Pakistan , their will be peace and terror free atmosphere in south Asia."
If and its a big if Kashmir goes to Pakistan, why do you think India will not do all that Pakistan has done in Kashmir all these years? How and why do you think that there will be peace then?

@Pak
India's most volatile border with Pakistan is the one bordering Kashmir, not the rajasthan-pak border or the Punjab borders. That is one reason for the troops. Also China makes regular visits to Ladakh every now and again.
