Is Pak Army Using Nawaz Sharif As A Bait In Its Engagement With India?




©




It is unthinkable to believe that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif could have walked even a step, leave alone walking the whole distance, in having his first summit with Narendra Modi thirteen and a half months later in Ufa (Russia) on 10 July without the express permission from Rawalpindi, the seat of military power in Pakistan.

 
He did.


 
It is unthinkable to believe that Nawaz Sharif could have agreed to the language of the India-Pakistan statement, jointly read out by the two foreign secretaries, which looks like a draft by the Indian foreign office.

 
He did.

 
What does it mean? For the Pakistani civilian government? For the Pakistani military establishment? And for Pakistan on the whole?

 
The India-Pakistan summit in Ufa is regarded as Indian diplomatic victory at the expense of Pakistan. It put on record several Indian concerns and made a specific mention of expediting the 26/11 trial without any reference to the K word.



Nothing could be better than this for India!


 
The question is: can this happen without the prior approval and blessings of Rawalpindi. It is highly unlikely.


 
In fact, the likely scenario is that the Pakistani military establishment is firing the gun from the shoulders of Nawaz Sharif, knowing well that it is the credibility and image of Nawaz Sharif, not theirs, which is at stake.


 
An Indo-Pak statement, jointly read out by the two countries' foreign secretaries at a joint press conference is too good to be true, after all!

But wait!

What if it is a pre-meditated strategy of the Pakistani military establishment!


 
First of all, let's put under microscope the following India-Pakistan statement, read out by the two foreign secretaries after the Ufa summit.


 Here is the full statement.

 
The Prime Ministers of Pakistan and India met today on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Ufa. The meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere. The two leaders exchanged views on issues of bilateral and regional interest.
 
They agreed that India and Pakistan have a collective responsibility to ensure peace and promote development. To do so, they are prepared to discuss all outstanding issues. Both leaders condemned terrorism in all its forms and agreed to cooperate with each other to eliminate this menace from South Asia. They also agreed on the following steps to be taken by the two sides:
 
  • A meeting in New Delhi between the two NSAs to discuss all issues connected to terrorism
  • Early meetings of DG BSF and DG Pakistan Rangers followed by that of DGMOs
  • Decision for release of fishermen in each other's custody, along with their boats, within a period of 15 days
  • Mechanism for facilitating religious tourism
  • Both sides agreed to discuss ways and means to expedite the Mumbai case trial, including additional information like providing voice samples

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif reiterated his invitation to Prime Minister Modi to visit Pakistan for the SAARC Summit in 2016. Prime Minister Modi accepted the invitation.

 
The last line of second paragraph which talks of the two sides agreeing to "discuss all outstanding issues" should be seen as including a discussion on the Kashmir issue which Rawalpindi views as a "core issue" and an unfinished business.

One should not forget that here Pakistan has agreed to "discuss" all outstanding issues; it is not a blanket endorsement of the Indian policy.

 
As for talks between chiefs of the chiefs of BSF and Pakistan Rangers, the two have been staying engaged anyway over the years and there is nothing new about it.

 
For that matter, even the biggest announcement that the two sides' National Security Advisors would be meeting to carry forward the talks, does it not suit Pakistan that India has not only agreed for talks but has also elevated the level of these talks as NSA is a notch higher than the foreign secretary?

More on this story
Ex-RAW chief was not totally honest about IC-814 hijacking
Why did Modi meet Nawaz Sharif in Russia?
'We will give befitting response to any Indian aggression'
'Address K-issue through back-channel talks'
'Modi diluting India's position on 26/11 trial in Pakistan
Modi-Sharif meet 'unfortunate': Sena
-------------------------------------------------------------


The only unexplained point is why the Pakistanis agreed to put in a reference to exp editing the 26/11 trial without any mention of the Kashmir issue.


This is indeed a major concession from Pakistan to India and also a major give-away of the mindset of Rawalpindi.

 
It is no secret that Pakistan Army today finds itself stretched beyond limits in fighting terror outfits within, irrespective of the fact whether these outfits are home-grown or not.

 
Pakistan today is in dire straits economically and power outages across the nation are becoming not just an embarrassment but also a strategic issue for the Pakistan government. The Chinese offer of funneling in a whopping investment of $46 billion into Pakistan, much of it predicated on the proposed China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, has come in as a potential saviour for the country.

 
The Chinese investment would be like snowflakes in an oven if the security scenario of the country remains as worrisome as it is today. Therefore, it is logical to think that China would like Pakistan to bury its hatchet with India for the time being.
In a way, the CPEC and China's offer of $46 billion investment in Pakistan, is a lifeline for Pakistan which can be threatened if Pakistan's security scenario is not improved considerably in double quick time.

 
This is the real reason for Nawaz Sharif giving concessions to India as reflected by the India-Pakistan statement mentioned above.


 
Had Sharif acted like a hawk at his summit meeting with Modi in Ufa, he would have compromised Pakistan's long-term national interests and trouble would have been brewing for him at home.
 
One will have wait and watch for the reaction, if any, of the Pakistani military establishment on Sharif's talks with Modi in Ufa and the India-Pakistan roadmap for near-term engagement.

 
Next few days would be crucial how the Pakistani military establishment takes the post-summit statement read out by the two countries' foreign secretaries which did not mention Kashmir but pointedly referred to the two sides agreeing "to discuss ways and means to expedite the Mumbai case trial, including additional information like providing voice samples."
But Rawalpindi is unlikely to rap Sharif because this is exactly what he was told to do. It looks quite probable that Pakistan Army is using PM Sharif as a bait in its engagement with India.

India-Paki Tensions Ease After Leaders Meet

In-Depth Coverage

by Anjana Pasricha July 10, 2015



A meeting between Indian and Pakistani leaders on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Russia on Friday produced a thaw in tense relations between the South Asian rivals.



A joint statement outlining measures to restore ties was issued after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, held one-on-one talks. Foreign Secretary Pakistan Aizaz Chaudhry said that the meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere and the two leaders exchanged views on bilateral and regional interest. He added that the two leaders agreed that both countries have a collective responsibility to ensure peace and promote development.



The Indian premier accepted Nawaz's invitation to Pakistan for the South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation summit in 2016. Other measures include upcoming counterterror strategy talks in New Delhi between Indian and Pakistani national security advisers, along with direct bilateral talks between border security officials.



The breakthrough occurred nearly a year after peace negotiations between the estranged neighbors stalled last August, when New Delhi called off high-level talks.
"They agreed that India and Pakistan have a collective responsibility to ensure peace and promote development,' Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Chaudhry said, signaling that the two countries are ready to pick up the threads again. 'To do so they are prepared to discuss all outstanding issues. Both leaders condemned terrorism in all its forms and agreed to cooperate with each other to eliminate this menace from South Asia." The two sides also discussed the primary issue that has strained ties: India's accusations of Pakistani foot-dragging on bringing justice to those responsible for Mumbai's November 2008 terror attacks that killed 164 people and wounded at least 308. Recent months have seen bitter exchanges over a Pakistani court's release of Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the attacks' alleged mastermind.



Pakistan says India has failed to provide crucial evidence, such as recordings of conversations between the attackers and their handlers.


Indian Foreign Secretary Subrahmanyam Jaishankar reported there was some progress at the talks in Ufa on addressing each country's concerns.



"Both sides agreed to discuss ways and means to expedite the Mumbai case trial, including additional information like providing voice samples," he said.



While the ice between the South Asian rivals may have been broken, progress in ending the freeze in their relations is likely to be slow.



Friday's meeting was the first between the two leaders since Nawaz attended Modi's swearing-in ceremony in May 2014.
