No major breakthrough is expected in talks between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh today (Sunday) as the latter told the UN General Assembly that while he reciprocated Nawaz’s sentiments on forging a new beginning, the epicentre of terrorism located in Pakistan was a major hindrance in improving relations between the two countries.
Addressing the audience during the 68th session of the United Nations General Assembly at the United Nations, Singh said that state sponsored cross border terrorism was of particular concern to India.
“It is important that the terrorist machinery that draws its sustenance from Pakistan be shut down,” he said.
Asserting that he wanted all issues with Pakistan to be resolved, he claimed that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of India and that the country will never compromise on its territorial integrity.
“For progress to be made, it is imperative that the territory of Pakistan and the areas under its control are not utilised for aiding and abetting terrorism directed against India,” Singh said, adding that he was looking forward to meeting with Nawaz on Sunday.
NAWAZ DEJECTED: Meanwhile, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that he had highlighted the Kashmir issue during his address to the UN General Assembly in a bid to remind the UN that it should implement the resolution passed by its Security Council.
Talking to an Indian TV channel, Nawaz regretted that Singh had used his meeting with US President Barack Obama to malign Pakistan and make false accusations against the country.
“Singh acted like a village woman when he complained against Pakistan to the US. If India has issues with Pakistan, it should take them up with us, not America,” he told India’s NDTV.
In spite of Singh’s tirade against Pakistan, Nawaz said he would still try to bring India and Pakistan closer during his meeting with Singh. The premier said that he would renew his invitation to his Indian counterpart for visiting Pakistan, and that while terror attacks were extremely unfortunate, they should not derail the dialogue process.
Noting that increased tensions along LoC was a matter of concern, Nawaz said that during his meeting with Singh, he will propose a joint mechanism or independent mechanism to monitor what’s happening along the contentious border.
“We propose our foreign secretaries & DGMOs meet separately to discuss LoC tensions.”
NO MFN, NO JOINT DECLARATION: Sources privy to the developments taking place in New York told Pakistan Today that the Pakistani government had decided to put on hold granting of Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India until a new government takes charge in New Delhi. “It’s also unlikely that a joint press conference of the two leaders would be arranged after the two leaders’ meeting. A joint declaration regarding the meeting is also not expected,” said the sources. They said that in backdoor negotiations Pakistan had proposed India to get the violations of Line of Control ceasefire investigated by the UN but India had rejected the suggestion. “The Pakistani side then asked their Indian counterparts to propose what other option they thought would help in removing their mistrust in Islamabad,” they added.
So Chameleon Singh of India controlled by its army and agencies as usual again changed its stance towards peace hating.Only fault of Pakistani PM was he mentioned Kashmir and then Indian army and agencies remote controlled Indian PM Chameleon Singh changed its stance.India is biggest epicenter of terrorists in region and destabilizing Pakistan as well as whole region.Kashmir is not India,s part but only Kashmir peoples have right to decide about its future.
Get well soon.
Terrorism and Pakistan are two sides of the same coin. You pakis say things for sake of saying. Others call us terrorists so we would also call them terrorists…hahaha
You guys were planning to give thousands cuts to India ????right ? how many cuts you have now ? No one in the world has any sympathy with you…
Kashmir belongs to India ..you can beat your chest and pull your hair…scream…die or live….your Muslim proxies in will bite the dust…
YOUR COMMENTS PROVE THAT YOU PAKISTANIS CAN NEVER THINK RATIONALLY. WHY SHOULD NOT INDIA RAISE TERRORISM ISSUE ???? WHO ARE YOU TO TELL INDIA WHAT IT SHOULD TALK ABOUT?
IT IS REALITY. WHAT YOU THINK OF YOURSELF….? YOU SINGING PEACE SONG AND IT IS FAVOUR TO WHOLE MANKIND???
WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN YOUR PEACE OVERTURES…..INDIAN PM WILL SPEAK FOR INDIA OR SHOULD HE SPEAK WHAT YOU CR00KS WANT TO HEAR ????
truth dont have to be told ,the world knows the truth.
PAK is capital of Terrorism
you denied this right to Bangladesh and now you are doing it in Baluchistan and comment o Kashmir.And what about the ethnic cleansing in Kashmir>Is there an amnesia on this part of freedom.
If Nawaz was the indian PM would he behaved differently? Comparing Mr Singh to a village woman is uncalled for. India holds all the cards. Kashmir is a binational issue. Read the simla pact.
Read UN resolution too. It was Nehru who took this issue to UN.
Simla pact made UN resolution irrelevent. That is the reason the Kashmir issue has never been taken up officially at the UN. Let us not live in the calcified past or we will lose the rest of pakistan too. Please try to talk to people involved during the simla pact talks! You will get the bitter facts.
UN resolutions are not irrelevant they are relevant until they are implemented that's the mandate of UN. Kashmir issue is been taken up in UN six times after Shimla and every time it was supported by majority. Even in Shimla pact it says both countries should resolve the Kashmir issue. So how MMS justified in saying that Kashmir is integral part of India. I don't have to get better facts from others because every thing is documented and available in Libraries. May be you should also read your self rather then listening to RSS.
May i politely ask how many times has Kashmir ?dispute been taken up by the security council. That is the place where it counts and not the Gen .Assembly where anybody can talk about anything. Rest assured i know about it. It is a dead horse at the security council. May i ask how many UN observers are at the LOC and what is their mandate.? What is the difference between caese fire and LOC?. The former relates to a contested area and the latter relates to an actual control accepted by bothe parties. Former President Musharraf was acutely aware of this and that is the reason he engaged in bilateral diplomacy which almost succeded. I however applaud your viewpoint and have no more to add!
Read his memoirs. It was his worst political decision.
It is very wrong of ndian PM to take umbrage at state sponsored terrorism of Pakistan in Kashmir & other places..After all it is birthright of pakistan to carry it out & to be fair to them ,they are doing it at their home also..So India if it wants to have talks with pakistan must start liking the terrorism.Now the question why should India hold any talks at all?for Pakistan it is ,love me love my dog.
Manmohan Singh's remark about Pakistan calling it an epicentre of terror is highly disgraceful and it shows that the incompetent and the failed Prime Minister of India is not worth talking to.
Nawaz Sharid should ignore Manmohan and let Pakistan move on without India. Their economy is sinking and Manmohan's Government is inept and incompetent and will not be able to take any significant decisions to improve relations with Pakistan.
Pakistan should focus on its own economic development and wait until a new Government is installed in India and if they send positive signals, only then should Pakistan have a dialogue, otherwise it is a sheer waste of time.
Pakistan is as much India's economic need (especially the trade corridor Pakistan can offer), as is India for Pakistan. So, let us step back and let a new Indian Government figure this out.
To understand today's situation in Kashmir, anyone should go back & look at the archives of 1947-1948. India used a logic to annex Hyderabad, exactly opposite logic was used in case of Kashmir. Why Gurdaspur at the last minute was given to India. Students of history should read and try to understand what terms and conditions were set, and agreed upon by Britons, Muslim league, and All India congress. There was a conditional ceasefire in Kashmir. India single handedly brushed that aside with its might. If India was right then 66 years later it will not be a burning issue. Countless Kashmiris, Pakistanis, and Indians have lost their lives & this fire will keep on burning until Pakistan commits suicide, or India come to senses. Neither of them are on the horizon.
Your lies not withstanding (probably learnt in "Pakistan Studies")…
EXACTLY OPPOSITE THING HAPPENED IN REAL HISTORY.
Jinnah dishonestly tried to persuade many overwhelmingly Hindu majority princely states across India to join Pakistan simply because they had muslim rulers. When Patel pointed out to him to leave Hyderabad alone and take Kashmir he was feverishly working on both. Flying in bombs/ ammunition to Hyderabad and invading JK. Greed has its consequences, he lost both. LOL
from Afganistan to Bangladesh..there was no LOGIC in converting Hindus into islam.
can you explain?
India is not the only country in the world for whom the terrorism sponsered by Pakistan is a matter of concern. Pakistan is hub of Islamic terrorism. 90% terror attacks happening in the world has a Pakistan link. From Faisal Shahzad to Tuawwar Rana, from Dawood Gilani alias David Headley to Afia Sadiqui to Fai to Osama Bin Laden being found in Pakistan….Internationally acclaimed terrorists are your national heroes and organizations declared terror outfits are charitable organizations…of course Pakistan is an epicenter of terroism….
What you people think ? that talking nice things will erase all this ?
Nawaz should ignore him ???? HAhahahha Thankyou. With an exception of handful people in India, maybe likes of Mani Shankar Iyers or Kuldip Nayyars we want to do nothing with a country which is a pain in the neck of entire civilized world. It has nothing to offer. You can keep gloating over your strategic location, and the day India gets your mindset and scraps the IWT, you will curse this strategic location. Yes, Please do not forget to Ignore Indian PM.
Pakistan need to hold its cards very close to its chest. Mr Nawaz Sharif's statements are taken as a weakness in the diplomatic arena. Stand on your feet, see eye to eye, and then talk. Bulging before the start of talks will not help Pakistan.
What cards have we? nuclear weapons and terrorists! The latter are more efficient at killing fallow citizens and foreign crickters than anybody else!
Very bizarre headline.
Who has the rigid stance? It looks like Pakistan has a birthright to continue terrorism ? If Dr Singh points it out it is rigid?
I don't know who was hoping that indian pm will work towards peace except few in Pakistan living in utopia. As far as state sponsor terrorism is concern there are two very clear proofs of who is doing it. Recent statement of ex indian army chief. second is sarabjit singh who killed innocent people in bomb blasts in Pakistan and got killed in jail in an unfortunate way "should have been hanged long time ago" his body was received in india wraped in indian flag and indian Punjab govt. and fed govt. gave him state funeral proof is enough that they send terrorists in Pakistan for a long time. Mass murderers like modi is going to be PM candidate which indicates sick and abnormal mentality of Indians that they would even consider a mass murderer to be PM. Beside all that last 65 years of Kashmir struggle of independence and killing of thousands of Kashmiri people is negating MMS claim on Kashmir. This problem can't be prolonged. I think we have drove enough buses between Lahore and dehli and traded enough onions its time to resolve core issue of Kashmir for lasting peace.
Mr. Sharief has a habit of talking from both sides of his mouth. One should know his history and rise to power. Calling Singh village woman like shows you what a statesman Pakistan has produced. He is chameleon ' India better watch out this guy. Musharraf was the guy that Pakistanis should have kept him at the helm.
Singh is very narrow minded man and illetrate supported by Indian gurus and takoors
What a comment. A man who holds a doctrate and has turned the indian economy around is narrow minded and illetrate! Could we have some like him in Pakistan? We excell in hunting such people out of the country.
Here is the abstract of Kuldip Nayers latest column about RSS mindset.
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, the prime ministerial candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has asked the Jamaat-Ulma Hind, representing the Muslims, to list four or five steps he should announce to win their confidence. The Jamaat has rightly pointed out that it was for Modi to think how to win the trust of Muslims. One thing Modi could do straightaway is to apologise for the 2002 riots in the state, reportedly blessed by him after the burning of some Hindu pilgrims in a train compartment at Godhara, not far from Ahmedabad. There is enough evidence to confirm that he convened a meeting of top officials to plan and execute an exercise to kill the Muslims. Hiren Pandey, a minister in Modi’s cabinet, had admitted after having participated in the riots that they were preplanned and that the police were asked not to interfere. He was murdered and till today the murderer has not been brought to book.
Not many care to read Kuldip Nyers article in India and he seems to write for the Pakistan audience.Good luck to him and his columns
Off course why would any body in India would care about any sane person.
Dear Nadeem , seems that you are worried about muslims who died in Gujarat riots, why should you be? they belong to a different country, different people . Be worried about few of your countrymen who were burned recently.
Thats why India added Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa to its territory while you lost half of country in 1971 ????? India doubled it per capita income while you became bankrupt now begging from IMF ? India progressed on every measurable index while you could not even eradicated Polio ???
Today you are a borderline failed state and terror export country and your country has zero credibility.
So who is sane and who is insane ???
talk between india and pakistan is the only and should be only way to resolve Kashmir issue. leave aside who said what and think for others also when you say anything.
hence give peace a chance and resolve through dialogue, the kashmir issue.
Man Mohan Singh ,the Indian Prime Minister has worongly quoted Pakistaan is epicentre of Terrorism.We r the worst victim terrorism .More than 40000 thousnad citizen of pakistan have been killed as yet.. His statment is lacking farsighted ness.Being PM of india he should talk cease hatred and spread love between two countries
Pakistan ISI and the army should start a limited air strike on Indian army and provide weapons to freedom fighters to get free our brothers from Hindus brutality and crimes.
kiddo , seems like like you forgot how your forces fared in previous wars. relax, be at peace and realize that war is no solution to our problems. if you were born in India you would have thought from our perspective , same is applicable to me also. so lets pray and work for a better tomorrow. god bless you.
isn’t it a joke itself that a terrorist country blaming Pakistan to b epicenter of terrorism? what happened in Gujrat? who was responsible for that. who is responsible for more than 80 thousand killings in Kashmir? who burnt alive christians ?
who has set up hundreds of terrorist supporting centers along Pak Afghan border to invade Pakistan? who is carrying out its agenda of dividing Pakistan by creating tension in Balochistan ? why not to talk of your role in East Pakistan? you Indian terrorists, don’t blame Pakistan for your own deeds… bleive me u have to reap oneday what you r sowing today… wait for that time basterds
UN Gen.Assembly is a tea club and an occason to vent out your anger at the other and then relax. Pakistan is at war with itself and so called peace with India will only come when there is peace in Pakistan. Last time floods swept pakistan president Zardari was criticised for not reurning to pakistan a.s.p. Now there are earth quakes and bombs exploding daily ? where is the PM—–heaping Insults on an old dignified indian PM leader of the largest democracy in the world. It is not he who is a village woman it is the other way around. As a ravian i am ashamed that our PM would stoop so low.
Dear Nawaz Sharif, your army wants to kill innocent Sadia Khan trapped in Sri Lanka. Please save her life. http://letsadialive.blogspot.com/2013/09/an-open-…
Now watch my words. When our PM returns to pakistan, he will be received by hundreds of so called diginatries and he will proudly acclaim that Kashmir is back on the agenda and the world has accepted that pakistan seeks to resolve all issues peacefullly. It is india which is the obstacle. I suggest next time he goes on a visit he takes a repr. of TTP with him to show the latter with his face covered is a man to do business with.
Now that PM has had his moment of glory let us solve some real problems! Kashmir should be put on the backburner and terrorisim on the front. Am I wrong?
Oh please don't pretend you are Pakistani. I can use a hindu name and write against india here.
Well described by Nawaz Sharif, "village woman" is the best term that can be used not only for Manmohan but for the whole India. By the way he should also have mentioned that India is the "Epicenter of rape"
Your PM's reported remarks only show poor intellect, lack of mannerism, street language and shallow-mindedness of Pakistanis. Dr Singh is a very venerated, respected economist, very decent and a man of impeccable integrity while Nawaz Sharif is exactly opposite. The cheap language used by Pakistani PM only reveals his real low class and poor education.
Two wrongs do not make a right. Please read my comments regarding PM Shariff and your respected PM. You have fallen in line with the above person.. Personal attacks on someone's dignity is not acceptable in international affairs. Even under normal circumstances it reflects poor taste.
India is fed up of saying to Pakistani uthorties of stop sending terrorists. Here it is two issues 1- weather Pakistani government has no power to abolish it 2- they don’t stop because it’s connected with their national intrust
Finally Singh complained to pakistan’s master if they can bring pressure on pakistan because USA is the one who feed the pakistan army and government.
Face the truth…the PM is correct…Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism!….Pakistani terrorist kill Christians, Muslims and anyone else who does not want to follow their twisted ideology…another day, another bombing in Pakistan…and your leaders sit around talking about having talks with killers of women and children…really pathetic…
thanks to nawaz Sharif for showing best statesmanship,but sorry to say Indians have been trained by Israeli policy of Palestinian like policy,which leaves no dough and have no illusions that India is Pakistan gravest enemy.
best to ignore the ignorance of the arrogant and stay clear, invest on defense please don't have no illusion India is a threat to Pakistan,and talk about state Sponsor terror from Indians in Baluchistan and else wear in the country.

Nora konjor india ki chaat kay andha hoo gia hai MC sooor ki aulad. lanat on his voters
Why Pakistani PM doesnt speak about terror India is doing through Afghanistan since a decade? Why they only silently deliver these dossiers to Manmohan? Well then this is how you get treated so deal with it! If you dont project you case properly, you get shafted!
While Pakistan is the country that has lost 40000 lives by terrorist its more of victim than epicentre of terror!
