Kartarpur Corridor: India's just scandal over Pakistan is also tragic and hilarious

Pakistan 's unlimited capacity for treacherous behavior only equaled India' s bottomless capacity to astonish it. India's indignation after being blinded by Imran Khan and Pakistani army chief Qamar Bajwa at the opening ceremony of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor is both sad and amusing. Did New Delhi seriously think that Pakistan would miss the opportunity to score cheap public relations points at a major event?

If New Delhi understood realpolitik as well, then questions must be raised against politicians and political representatives in South Block who conceives the strategy for Pakistan (or so called) [19659002] Analysts have described Pakistan as suffering from a magnificent illusion, but in reality it is India that delirium if it participated in the Kartarpur initiative thinking that it could be seen in isolation and independently of broader bilateral relations.

Here is what India's error in Kartarpur tells us: Imran Khan understands the role of the media much better than us. Given the turbulent nature of the bilateral relations and the animosity between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, Khan clearly understood that a rapprochement between the two hostile nations, even a religious and emotional problem such as the corridor without visas of the most sacred site of Sikhism title and can be interpreted as a sign of thaw in bilateral relations.

It was a timely moment for Pakistan and Khan hastened to seize it. He took full advantage of the occasion to refer to the conflict in Kashmir and pose as "the apostle of peace" before the presence of a large contingent of media, while Bajwa was seen shaking hands of a pro-Khalistani leader. Khan also launched darts on Narendra Modi and suggested that Navjot Sidhu – the joker of the pack who can not tell a press conference of a humorous show – would be a better prime minister. And he did all this at an event where New Delhi sent two Union ministers.

Smoking India issues a statement condemning Khan's maneuvers, calling it "deeply regrettable that the Prime Minister of Pakistan has chosen to politicize the godly occasion". meet the long-awaited demand of the Sikh community to develop the Kartarpur corridor by making an unjustified reference to Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral and inalienable part of India.

"Pakistan is reminded that it must fulfill its international obligations and take effective measures. credible action to stop providing shelter and all kinds of support for cross-border terrorism from the territories under its control. "

In glaring terms, India's response may be best described as a bowler revolting against the drummer for hitting a full shot for six hours." A day earlier, Pakistan had "invited India at the top of the SAARC, a double bluff considering the fact that Islamabad is not able to do so after being blacklisted by several members and that India does not need to be invited.However, as I had already said, India's Indian Kartarpur and Sidhu's antics have created space for Pakistan.

Khan's maneuvers were abominable, but at least he had behaved well.Pakistan must hold a demonstration of SAARC to show the rest of the world (read the US) that it is a "Responsible actor" in South Asia and not just a "liar", a "deceiver", a "mother ship of terrorism." 19659002] If the Pakistan can prove that it is India (and not a Pakistan exporter of terrorism) that is delaying the peace process, it may be able to avoid some pressure and impose a burden on India. For that, Khan had to isolate the bilateral links of the terrorist policy of Pakistan, and India presented itself with a perfect opportunity.

PM Pak Imran Khan: I heard that Sidhu had been heavily criticized when he returned after taking an oath. ceremony. I do not know why he was criticized. He spoke just of peace and fraternity. He can come to challenge the election here in Punjab Pakistan, he will win. #Kartarpur pic.twitter.com/KkCoUn366x

This distortion of history and revision of the Geography are typical of a revisionist while Khan was exploiting only the space that India had endowed by its disastrous signals on the Kartarpur corridor. It is obvious that the issue is emotional for the Sikhs who have been fighting for it for decades, but should India really lay the groundwork for it on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of 26/11, the vice President Venkaiah Naidu the appellant "Historical Day"?

Observe the strange signals sent by India. While two ministers of the Union and a Minister of State shared the platform with Khan, Harsimrat Kaur Badal even suggested that hatred between India and Pakistan could be reduced by the opening of the corridor. Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj reminded Pakistan that negotiations can not go together.

Did not New Delhi know that Pakistan will make the most of Kartarpur optics? And that he may have agreed to a corridor without a visa to earn mileage? How will India explain sending ministers to an event attended by Gopal Singh Chawla – an badistant to Hafiz Saeed and a pro-Khalistani leader?

Not to be outdone, Congress leader Sidhu even asked Chawla to take pictures. According to reports on social media and television, he also reportedly embraced the separatist leader of Khalistan.

India could have contained the damage to a certain extent if it had sent two junior ministers for the ceremony (given Pakistan's exploiting this opportunity), but that's where the internal political considerations took body. The BJP could hardly afford to minimize the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor and allow Congress to withdraw with credit during an election period.
