As a flood that has been described as one of the proportions of biblical destroying Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences and hoped “for normal initial recovery”. “Sad to see the destruction caused by flooding in Pakistan. We give a sincere condolence to the families of the victims, who are injured and all that are affected by this natural disaster and hope for normal initial recovery, “Modi said in a tweet on August 29.
This is the only statement made by the Prime Minister about floods that continue to bring disaster throughout Pakistan. A total of 1,355 people have been killed since June 14, and 33 million from the country’s 220 million population have been beaten, according to official numbers on Thursday. More than 3,500 people were injured, and there were large deficiencies of wheat and fuel. Early estimates show one third of the land cultivated in the country – 7 million hectares of a total of 22 million – have been flooded, and around 2 million houses must be rebuilt from the start.
The statement by the Prime Minister last month came as a surprise for many people, given the stable damage from Indian relations with Pakistan for the past eight years since Modi came to power.
Modi has been famous for starting his term of office with an invitation to Pakistan, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for the Celebration Ceremony in May 2014. Sharif came to India, along with the leaders of other SAARC countries.
The Modi Movement, and the meeting between the two prime ministers has held a new initial promise for bilateral relations that experienced severe setbacks after the 26/11 terrorist attacks in Mumbai in 2008.
However, a series of incidents that followed the Indian red line at a meeting between Pakistani diplomats and separatist Hurriyat leaders, terrorist attacks on Pathankot and Uri – had an impact on the relationship negatively, and New Delhi explained that “Talks and terror can go together together “.
The bond has been beaten further over the past few years, especially after the Pulwama terror attack in February 2019, and the revocation of Article 370, which revoked the special status for Jammu and Kashmir, in August that year. That caused the high commission to streamline the two capitals; There is no high -time high commissioner in both countries now. Constitutional changes in J&K, and Pakistan’s responses to them, bring bilateral relations to low new – and subsequent controversies involving the diplomats of the two countries in 2020 do not help the bond.
After the dismissal of Imran Khan, and came to the power of the new coalition government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, several positive votes had originated from Islamabad.
In April this year, a few hours after Prime Minister Sharif asked Modi to advance to overcome the Kashmir problem so that the two countries could concentrate to overcome poverty and unemployment, the Indian Prime Minister congratulated the new leader of Pakistan, and said that India wanted India’s desired peace who want Indian peace peace and stability in areas that are free of terrorism.
In a letter written to Modi, Sharif said Pakistan remained committed to “regional peace and security”, and sought a relationship “peaceful and cooperative” with India. Prime Minister Sharif, who is the younger brother of Pakistani Prime Minister three times Nawaz Sharif, also underlined his letter that this peaceful and cooperative bond could be achieved through “meaningful dialogue”.
In his speech at the National Assembly as Prime Minister, Shehbaz, who was the Chairperson of the Punjab Provincial Minister of Pakistan when his brother, who was then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, visited India at Modi’s invitation in 2014, said: “We want a good relationship with India but but Durable peace is not possible until the Kashmir dispute is resolved. “He attacked his predecessor, Imran Khan, because he did not make” serious and diplomatic efforts “when India canceled Article 370 in August 2019.
