Perhaps if BJP wins, some kind of settlement could be reached in Kashmir: Pak PM Imran Khan
Modi-Imran Khan
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said he thinks there may be a better chance of peace talks with if PMModi's BJPwins the general election due to begin on Thursday.
"Perhaps if the BJP wins, some kind of settlement in Kashmir could be reached," Khan told a small group of foreign journalists in an interview.
The Pakistani prime minister added that if the next Indian government were led by the opposition Congress party, it might be too scared to seek a settlement with Pakistan over Kashmir, fearing a backlash.
Khan did appear to offer India an olive branch, saying that Islamabad was determined to dismantle all Pakistan-based terroristsin the country, and that the government had full support from Pakistan's powerful army for the programme. Those to be dismantled include groups involved in Kashmir.
Relations between Pakistan and India, reached a crisis point in February after a suicide bombing killed 40 Indian CRPF men in Pulwama in Kashmir.
Islamabad denied responsibility for the February 14th attack, which was claimed by Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed(JeM), but the bombing prompted India to carry out a cross-border air strike at Balakot inside Pakistan targeting JeM terror targets.
