PAKISTAN SHIFTS GOAL POST FROM 370 TO 35A

摘要

Pakistan is desperate to mend fences with India but unwilling to give up terrorism. It is trying all means to build a narrative that the Modi government is acting as a hurdle in ushering peace in the sub-continent while Pakistan is even willing to walk an extra-mile for the same thus hoping to bring upon international pressure on India. Pakistan is also trying to play mind games. It is still not ready for any unconditional talks but has merely shifted the goal post from abandoning revocation of Article 370 to restoration of Article 35A as the pre-condition for holding of peace talks/resumption of trade.
