It is time India and Pakistan address Kashmir, restore bilateral relations
Now is the time for PM Modi to add another “victory” to his electoral triumph: Get Pakistan to allow bilateral free trade including cross-border investment. Of course Imran Khan will have to play ball by delaying the “peace talks” on Kashmir as “normalisation” with India proceeds.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has won his election and now India will have to adjust to his worldview in the coming five years more completely, its judiciary a little more and the minorities quite a lot. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan wanted Modi to win so that he could readjust to India, change policy from the ground up, because Pakistan is broke. Khan wants to docket Kashmir and open free trade with India, allow India a trade route to Afghanistan and Central Asia in order to secure his western border to prevent Pakistan from unravelling once again.
