US says India, Pakistan would have to sit and talk on border tension


Washington, Feb 28 (PTI): India and Pakistan need to sit and talk about their ongoing border tension, the Trump Administration said today.

"We think that both sides would certainly have to sit down and have talks about that," State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert told reporters at her daily news conference. She was responding to a question on what role the US can play to ease down the tensions between the two neighbouring countries.

The Indian and Pakistan issue was also raked up by a top American general at the US Congress. "The enduring tension between the nuclear powers of India and Pakistan remains unreconciled," General Joseph Votel, Commander of the US Central Command, said in his testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

    With this Modi government's aimless and directionless Pakistan policy peace with Pak is impossible. Modi government is looking to build up public anger towards Pak by allowing their friendly media to play up the attacks from Pak terrorists so that they can get public support to start a war/limited attack on Pakistan to revive their dissolving/sagging popularity ahead of the Lok Sabha 2018/2019 polls. Start war mongering, then start a war hoping that whipping up nationalistic sentiments will revive their lost popularity in time for the polls. BJP always looking out for ways and means to win elections whatever the means/methods. Hence, they have no time for governance or caring for the economy. Hence. scamsters and looters are able to flee from under their noses.

    No more Tea time w or relishing Biriyani with Modiji. India has tested all the options, including surgical strikes. PAK can never ever succeed in their vicious goal to snatch what belongs India.
    Modiji, you got the anticipated answer.

    If you sit,stand, hug or anything else the fox will not change its attitude towards INDIA ! They got hurt by defeated from our army so many times and the wounds are still not dried up. The economy and progress of India is far better than Paki and you can say it 30 years ahead of pakistan which makes them real burning in their inner souls.
