I agree. Talking to pakis was totally unnecessary. Of the 3½ friends, it is the US that has the clout to prod us to talk. I wish NM/AD/BJP pushed back refusing to open any dialogue till India's concerns on terror from pakiland are adequately addressed (paki pig Lakhvi back in jail, completion of 26/11 Mumbai attack trial, paki pig Hafiz nitwit under lock and key, ityadi).
I notice a pattern in our dealings with pakiland.
1. Terrorist attack occurs (parliament, 26/11 Mumbai etc)
2. An outraged India suspends all talks, no kirkit/IPL for pakis, no pakis in bhaiwood etc. India holds this line for months successfully.
3. pakis whine to US about tense eastern border, need to defuse, concessions, normalcy, p2p contact, shared heritage, destiny blah, blah, blah. Rest of 3½ friends (UK, KSA, PRC, Japan) neither have that clout nor do they care as Amrika bahadur is on the job.
4. pakis indulge in window dressing, spout some garbage on being a victim of terrorism, try to get some US military hardware for fighting alqaeda, haqqani network, assorted terrorists.
5. US prods India to restart contacts. India doesn't push back citing lack of progress on terror targeted at India but wilts. For starting talks, India gets nothing to show for; Amrikis get tall talk from pakis; pakis get mil hardware from Amrika and talks with India. What does India get in return? paki pig lakvi is loose, hafiz organizes a bigger rally to rant against India.
Did I miss anything? I wish I was wrong but successive governments have let down people of India. I hoped NM/AD/BJP would be different.
