Former Advisor to National Security Affairs Lt. Gen. Retired Nasir Janjua has said that “unless the seizure -maker will sit with the media, these meetings will not result in these meetings.”
For four days between the two countries, fighter jets, missiles, drones and artillery attacks were fired on Saturday after at least 60 deaths and thousands of people were displaced.
US President Donald Trump announced the ‘complete and quick’ seizure in Pakistan and India on social media, after which the top leadership of the two countries also confirmed.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement on X that the two countries have agreed to start discussing various important issues at a neutral location, after which it is believed that the national security advisers of the two countries will meet in a third country.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said in his statement last night that “the US, China, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom have a key role in ending the India war.”
In this regard, Nasir Janjua says that “unless the seizure -maker sits with the media, these meetings will not result.”
According to Nasir Janjua, if India’s hit remains, then all the issues will remain the same. Now we must tell the United States that the cease has been fired, so do mediation. ‘
The US President said in a statement today that he would try to resolve the Kashmir issue with Pakistan and India.
In a post on his social media platform ‘Truth Social’, he said, “I will work with both (Pakistan, India) to see that a solution to the Kashmir issue can be resolved after thousands of years.” Pakistan has welcomed his statement.
On President Trump’s statement regarding Kashmir, Nasir Janjua says, “We will now have to take advantage of this, otherwise sitting alone will not give Pakistan anything.”
He said, “When the mediators said that the two countries should sit and talk, the main reason is that the US has actually rescued them on the loss of India.”
He believes that ‘India will still make a statement that they will prevail and they will come to the negotiations as they are doing good to Pakistan.
“We also have to think about how India will talk when they sit together because when they do not believe in bilateral disputes. Their attitude has always been a fanatic that I have seen in the past. ‘
There have been 10 advisers for National Security Affairs since 1971. No one has been appointed to this post from 1990 to 2004.
Nasir Janjua was the eighth adviser from October 2015 to June 2018. Pakistan on April 30 entrusted DGISI Lieutenant General Asim Malik’s additional responsibility.
Regarding what talks are expected between the two countries after the recent conflict and fighting, Nasir Janjua said, “I met with Indian counterpart Ajit Doval three times as a national security adviser.” One time alone and twice met with the delegation. ‘
He said, “When such a tense situation is met, it is not as if the national security advisers go to meet themselves, but they have a delegation of the Foreign Secretary and the Foreign Office.”
“Similarly, India’s adviser National Security is accompanied by his Foreign Office delegation.”
He said that the meeting of the National Security Advisors should now be increased. The Foreign Office delegation should also have foreign ministers of the two countries so that these meetings are registered at a higher level. The rank should not be lowered or nothing will be found. ‘
How to meet with Indian Advisor for National Security Affairs in the past? On this, he said, “When I met Ajit Doval in November 2015, it was a hit, but after a very long discussion, he finally agreed to start the talks.” They included the point of terrorism and we kept the Kashmir respondent. ‘
What can Pakistan have demands from India?
Former Foreign Secretary Pakistan Jalil Abbas Jilani, who was also Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States, said that the first Indus Water Treaty should be restored.
“It is also included in Kashmir’s August 5th renovation. Apart from this, a permanent solution to the Kashmir issue and Siachen, Cirque’s disputes. ‘
He said, “It is necessary to do a groundwork before the National Security Advisors in which the paperwork is completed as to what points Pakistan should talk about and how to talk.”
“When India accuses Pakistan of terrorism, Pakistan raised the issue with regard to the funding of the Baloch Liberation Army that India is funding the banned terrorist party globally and is terrorizing Pakistan. Pakistan also has real evidence of all these things. ‘
Former Foreign Secretary Sohail Mehmood, a former Pakistani High Commissioner in India during the 2019 dispute, says that until the Kashmir dispute is resolved, South Asia will continue to move from one crisis to another.
“I expect Pakistan to emphasize the Kashmir issue. Also, the illegal and unilateral Indian action against the Sindh Tas Treaty will be among the priority issues for Pakistan. ‘
He added that “India’s Pakistan, especially Balochistan, with the support of terrorism, as well as its extra -judicial and extraordinary killings on Pakistan’s territory are a serious concern.
“I hope Pakistan will immediately demand that this unacceptable Indian role be abolished.”
According to former Advisor to National Security Affairs Nasir Janjua, ‘all demands that are on the list of Pakistan should not be retreat.’
Dr Qamar Cheema, director of the Subbar Think Tank, says: “Pakistan’s possible demands should first restore bilateral talks.
“At the same time, Pakistan should discuss the bilateral problems of India.”
He said, “All India’s political parties should be part of it, which is aggressive, it should be reduced.”
‘The links in the region must increase now. The Line of Control ceasefire also needs to be restored, otherwise it will lead to a major war. ‘
Former Foreign Secretary Sohail Mahmood said, “In the past, talks have been taking place in Pakistan and India and their mixed results have come up.”
“Particularly the Jammu and Kashmir dispute has not been the result of discussion. It is important to remember that since the BJP government took power in 2014, India has completely stopped the negotiation process.
According to Indian media, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has consulted with top government officials today. According to reports, the consultation included Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Foreign Minister SJ Shankar and senior army officers.
No statement was issued regularly after the meeting. It is likely that India is likely to take the Phalgam incident in talks with Pakistan.
