Qureshi claimed that in this congratulatory letter on August 18, PM Modi referred to starting a dialogue with Pakistan.
After assuming the command of Imran Khan's Pakistan, the initiative on India-Pakistan relations started in the wrong way. In fact, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote a letter to congratulate Imran Khan on becoming Prime Minister. But there was a dispute about the statement of Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi about this. Qureshi claimed that in this congratulatory letter on August 18, PM Modi referred to starting a dialogue with Pakistan.
But according to Indian sources, PM Modi's letter does not mention the start of talks. According to sources, this letter was written on August 18. In this, Imran Khan has been congratulated on becoming Pakistan's Prime Minister. According to sources, PM Modi said that easy transfer of power would strengthen Pakistan. He wrote that people's confidence in Pakistan's democracy would increase. In the letter, the conversation between the two leaders on the telephone was mentioned. PM wrote that Indian subcontinent is free of terror and violence so that development can be addressed. He wrote that India wants to have good relations with its neighbors and there should be a creative and meaningful approach to the well-being of the people.
Obviously there is no mention of starting a conversation in the letter. On the dispute, the Pakistan Foreign Ministry came clean and the media was told to be responsible. Sources said that the Foreign Minister of Pakistan has never said that the Indian PM has offered talks. They said that to move beyond the creative point of view. Pakistan is also saying the same thing. Pakistan's eyes are on constant communication with India. There should be constant dialogue for resolving all issues. Trying to spoil the atmosphere is not responsible journalism.
Meanwhile, sources from the Ministry of External Affairs have made India's stand clear over talks with Pakistan. He said terrorism and negotiations can not go together. India would like to see how the new government works in this direction.
On the other hand, another controversy is also to get the necklace of Pakistani Army chief at the oath taking ceremony of Imran Khan, minister of Navjot Singh Sidhu in the Congress government in Punjab. Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has expressed his displeasure on Sidhu's attitude. He had said that it is not okay to meet the army chief responsible for the killing of Indian soldiers. He said that "Our soldiers are being martyred everyday, in such a situation, I do not believe in getting a necklace with the army chief." My own regiment lost a Major and two soldiers a few months ago. Anyone who shoots or orders to fire, Pakistan's army chief is responsible for this. "
But Sidhu probably did not like this tired version of Amarinder He said that when he will answer all he will answer and give them the hinges. And the Congress of two of its veteran leaders said that the Congress is currently trying to intervene. The Congress is also targeting the BJP. It is clear that when mention of Pakistan, the biggest thing is trust. But at the moment, the lack of confidence is clearly visible.
