PAKISTAN and India have never enjoyed friendly relations. After the the killings in Indian-held Kashmir and the Uri attack their acrimonious relations are at a peak.

The Indian government is now trying to isolate Pakistan internationally, and it looks the Indian government is moving toward success. It sabotaged the Saarc summit, to be held in Pakistan, and at the BRICS summit Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi exploited the opportunity to isolate Pakistan, though he received little response from other BRICS leaders.

Pakistan should decide how to tackle India in its efforts to isolate Pakistan in the international fora.
