Indian ambivalence towards Pakistan

For instance, on June 13 this year by handing over the dead bodies of two more Pakistani nationals namely Rashida Bibi and Abdul Aleem who died in Indian jails due to physical torture displayed Indian sinister designs.

In connection with recently received corpses of Pakistani nationals, the Foreign Office Spokesman Muhammad Sadiq said, “We have asked the Indian government to ensure humane treatment of Pakistani prisoners and provision of right to consular access,” as agreed upon by the two countries recently. In this respect, Indian violations of human rights norms and the terms of the agreement shows that New Delhi is even paying no heed to the CBMs which entail dead bodies of Pakistani prisoners. This shows a greater paradox of Indian policy towards Pakistan.

Apart from the settlement of other issues, the solution of the core issue of Kashmir is very essential to establish durable peace in the sub-continent. Yet no progress seems to be made regarding this problem because of Indian delaying tactics which are part of her ambivalent policy.

It is of particular attention that on July 10, 2008, firing by the Indian forces on Pakistani troops at the Line of Control in breach of a ceasefire after a long time has given a setback to the composite dialogue. Nonetheless, the incident points to New Delhi’s revival of old war-mongering posture by taking advantage of the volatile situation across the Pak-Afghan border. It was a pre-planned scheme because Indians want Pak Army to be engaged on both eastern and western fronts
