India-Pakistan relations were never used to be perfect, not even good enough all these decades and Pakistan is to be blamed for it. Its proxy war against India during the last three decades ruined the relations between the two countries. However, India always has been trying to improve relations with it. But, Pakistan’s reactions are always negative and offensive. It makes no difference for Pakistan as long as there was UPA government in the power in New Delhi.
But, it fails or ignores to notice a change in the situation. In fact, Narendra Modi also preferred to have good relations between two countries. So, he invited Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to his swearing-in ceremony. He adopts a tough stand after seeing Pakistan’s negative reactions. Ever since, his government is handling affairs related to Pakistan with a very firm hand.
His government called off talks between foreign secretaries of two countries after Pakistan’s Commissioner to India had a meeting with Kashmiri separatists ignoring its orders. His government orders the border security forces to give a fitting reply to Pakistani troops seize fire violations.
After closely observing Modi’s stand on Pakistan, former US ambassador Robert Blackwell warned the Pakistan government that Modi government may not hesitate to conduct a military action against it in case if he found any kind of involvement of Pakistan army or its secret service agency ISI in any terrorists attacks on India in the future. He said previous government also thought about striking militant bases on the Pakistani soil, after terrorists’ attacks on its parliament, but, it hesitates and finally dropped the plans of military action. Hence, Blackwell warned the Pakistan government to realize the situation and refrain from encouraging terrorists to attack India.
