Problems between Pakistan and India are among the easiest in the world to remedy; however, one needs to possess a will to do so, former Indian diplomat-turned-politician, Mani Shankar Aiyar has said.
The two countries have so many commonalities, he added. Aiyar was the keynote speaker at the launch of former foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri's book Neither a Hawk Nor a Dove, in Lahore on Tuesday evening.
"The only reason that we could not solve Pakistan-India disputes in 70 years is that we haven't given each other the appropriate chance," Aiyar said. He said whenever the two states engaged in negotiations casualties along the Line of Control (LoC) had gone down and increased whenever they had disengaged.
Aiyar said uninterrupted and uninterruptible composite dialogue between Pakistan and India should recommence. "Both countries should bring all their concerns to the table and have a conversation," he added.
Aiyar said peace-building efforts had been sabotaged after terrorist attacks, adding that both states should not let the peace process become hostage to those who were least interested in maintaining pacific relations between them.
"Pakistan should accept that its soil is being used for terrorism while India should realise that Pakistan is a victim of terrorism. This is evident to Pakistanis but not to Indians," he added.
