on the eve of meeting Obama in September, ModiJi will announce resumption of kirket
. I wouldn't risk it only because I am not 400% sure of the timing. But judging from his U-turns so far, what makes you so confident that he would not do a U-turn on kirket too? I would say my hunch is based on a reasonable extrapolation of his actions so far. Plus, kirket, like Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a huge crowd puller on both sides of the border, and so ModiJi comes under pressure from those who stand to gain monetarily through resumption of kirket. (I am fan of kirket, but I am beginning to see the damage that game has been doing to India in more ways than one). One final comment. We may not hear everything that goes on in back channels, but given TSP is so desperate for kirket resumption, they might actually put a tactical, temporary lull to their pigLeT infusion so as to get ModiJi sign on the dotted line to resume kirket.

Claim of the volume of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan’s IT exports at USD 1,600 Million is highly exaggerated going by Pakistan Software Export Board statistics (Clicky) which had projected IT exports of USD 500 Million in 2015 and reported USD 370 Million of IT exports in 2014:

KABUL (Dunya News) -- Afghan President Ashraf Ghani accused Pakistan on Monday of sending messages of war and harbouring bombmaking camps, after a wave of devastating blasts in Kabul killed at least 56 people on Monday.
A Taliban suicide car bomber killed five people Monday near the entrance of Kabul s international airport, the latest in a barrage of violence that has convulsed the Afghan capital since Friday.
The last few days have shown that suicide bomber training camps and bomb-producing factories which are killing our people are as active as before in Pakistan," Ghani told a news conference. "We hoped for peace but we are receiving messages of war from Pakistan", said Ashraf Ghani.
In a rant against Pakistan, the Afghanistan President said that he does not want Pakistan bringing Afghanistan Taliban to the negotiating table.
On the other hand, Spokesperson for Foreign Office Qazi Khalilullah reacted strongly to Afghan President’s statement. He said that he is assessing Ashraf Ghani’s press conference.[*]
[*] Spoken like a diplomat
The spokesperson said that Pakistan itself is a victim of terrorism [*]while terrorism is a mutual enemy of both Pakistan and Afghanistan. He said that Pakistan fully supports the reconciliatory efforts taking place in the country while extending full cooperation to Afghanistan.
[*] This line is like a
Qazi Khalilullah stressed that Pakistan believes in maintaining brotherly relations with its neigbours.

I am not sure I agree. As ArjunJi was pointing out, as in the case of Bhajrangi Bhaijaan, there are huge swathes of Indians who will jump up in glee once kirket resumption is announced. (Cancellation of talks with TSP after they humored the Harried rats was also welcomed by large sections of the general general public, but ModJi weathered that at Ufa didn't he?).
So, yes, while there are a good section of Indians who are against it, but what we need to watch for is the turn in the opinion of elites: govt and media. So far, those against resumption of kirket are holding fort. But its on tender hooks, one small move by TSP to address India's concerns, and this gang will be all over ModiJi, and public opinion can be turned around. Plus, what is agonizingly painful to nationalists is that TSP has so many backers in India, that I am sure their RAPE is working behind the scenes with our RAPE to get something going. Lets wait and see.

Knowing CRamS I am sure this is his real feeling despite his constant barrage of pessimism. He would like to see India kick Paki ass and is not seeing it.
