India will have to make peace sooner or later, says Nawaz

LONDON: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said that India will have to make peace sooner or later as Pakistan has suggested the way to resolve the issues between the two countries.
He said that Indian involvement in terrorism-related incidents in Pakistan was a serious matter. He said Pakistan had credible evidences in this regard, which have been shared with the world.
The PM was speaking to the media here before departing for Pakistan. He reached London after making a historic speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
The PM said that the proxy war against Pakistan must be stopped because it did not serve anyone’s purpose and would not lead to anything good.
He said that Pakistan had effectively presented the way forward to resolve the outstanding issues between India and Pakistan and that was the only way forward suggested by Pakistan.
He regretted that baseless allegations had been leveled against Pakistan but Pakistan gave only reasonable and practical suggestions to India at the United Nations to move forward.
Nawaz Sharif said he believed that the two countries needed to adopt a balanced approach on all issues as hostility spread over nearly 70 years had not produced any positive results. He said that tensions between India and Pakistan had impacted the good relations between the two countries and it had damaged socio-economic prospects of the neighbours.
He said that sooner or later India would have to come round to the Pakistani point of view, which called for resolution of all issues through dialogue.
Nawaz Sharif was certain that India would have to give up its belligerent policies.
When asked about the upcoming by-elections and PML-N’s prospects, the PM said, “Allah will be merciful.”
He said, “We are humble people and we pray for blessing on Pakistan in every matter. We have overcome many difficulties with the grace of Allah. It’s our hope that the PML-N will succeed in upcoming challenges.”
PM Sharif refused to comment on the statement made by lobbyist Mark Siegel in relation to the alleged threats made by Pervez Musharraf to Benazir Bhutto.
