On a completely different front, a week and a half ago, Zeeshan Abbasi, Captain of Pakistan’s blind cricket squad accidentally drank ‘phenyl’ whilst staying at a hotel in Bangalore giving skeptics another very important cue to hatch conspiracy theories. I personally do not agree with the words of the aforementioned state figure and believe that he should have refrained from making statements on such a sensitive issue because of their negative effects. The statements he made are quite debatable however, what motivated him to make such claims on a peace drive is absolutely unfathomable. His statements instigated a series of verbal attacks from both sides jeopardising the much awaited cricket series and the overall peace process. However, some of his statements regarding Mumbai attacks and India’s alleged involvement causing instability in the province of Balochistan did not sit well with many political leaders of India. It is quite ironic but all it takes us is a second to launch senseless accusations on each other without paying any heed to the fact that most of the people residing on both sides of the border demand and are in favour of congenial relations between both the countries.Ī few days ago one of Pakistan’s most famous politicians visited India to propagate the message of peace and solidarity. However, the fragility of our relationship makes me think if we can really put our past behind us and embark on a journey which will be mutually beneficial for both the nations. Being a complete supporter of Indo-Pak friendship, the efforts put in by both countries is both joyous and commendable. It took Pakistan and India four very long years to reconcile their differences and open the borders to facilitate business, sports and diplomatic ties.
