Kashmir will not hold hostile to CBMS. Pakistan has agreed to offer Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India opening the major trade route via Wahga Border post to be expanded with major road mainly to be paid by India for major transport trucks carrying goods worth Billions of dollars in both directions. Importers are happy for now they can get same raw material from next door rather cheaply than from far away countries saving $1 billion as the import was valued at $2.8 billions and bringing the benefit to common people specially poor. India has also offered the financial credits worth $2 billions. The poor people of both countries deserve this with respect. Politics have been dismantled from the trade. The credit goes to the commerce minister; Mr Ahmad Mukhtar who has a clear vision, on Friday crossed one big psychological barrier when he announced Pakistan’s Trade Policy 2008-09. The new approach to India in the trade policy is subtle and intellectually appealing. Rapid roads at Wahga will facilitate for the import of CNG buses in the coming 12 months. The threshold has been lowered significantly. The number of interested importers will increase because the importable buses can be as old as ten years. And each importer will be allowed ten buses across the land border. But the rider added to this permission is even more significant: the Indian manufacturers of CNG buses will have to guarantee that they will begin manufacture of such buses in Pakistan. In today’s context, the new trade policy is foreshadowing a change of direction in regard to the permission of Indian investments in Pakistan. The PPP government is landed in the eye of Pakistan’s economic storm when oil and food prices have soared world wide. BUT LET US BE CAREFUL, LET NOBODY BUT NOBODY TRY TO ROCK THIS BOAT. Let people be people and do it for our future generation who can live peacefully for we did not. Both countries were looser and today our young generation especially in Pakistan have no clear future. Let us show the world Pakistan is moderate and can live peacefully with its neighbours and prosper economically like Europe.
The CBMS under stress due to the attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul as evidence given by India of the ISI involvement of the orders from the top military commanders including Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, who headed Pakistan’s Directorate for Inter-Services, who is the ex ISI boss. The PPP government and military have their own agenda.
The ISI were involved in the assasination of Ms. Benazir Bhutto. She had given the names of people to President Pravez Musharf who was in the process of talking to them. UN will discover the truth hopefully.
