Signs Of Indo- Pak Thaw ? Pakistan MP Meets Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sushma Swaraj

As tensions between India – Pakistan reach crescendo after the Pulwama attacks, there appears to be signs of thaw between the two neighbours. The visit of Pakistan MP from Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party Ramesh Kumar Vankwani  reportedly  met top Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as Islamabad started backdoor contacts with New Delhi to defuse tensions between the two sides in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack.

The leader also met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Minster of State for External Affairs General V K Singh.

“I met Sushma Swaraj ji and I told her that issues between the two countries can only be resolved through talks,” Vankwani  reportedly told PTI.

He said he told Swaraj that Pakistan did not want any tension India.

“Pakistan has never allowed anyone to use its soil to spread terror and would never allow it in the future too, I assure you. We do not want tension with India. Let peace prevail,” Vankwani told Swaraj.

He said at the meeting with Swaraj he offered to play the role of a mediator between the two governments.

Noting that mutual trust is important for the talks to take place, Vankwani expressed hoped the two countries would “move in a positive direction from here on”.
