A very interesting news has come to light with regards to Nawaz Sharif’s tenure as it is claimed that Nawaz Sharif, in fear of losing a good relationship with India, restricted the Foreign office from speaking against India no matter the circumstance. According to a diplomat, he made sure that there were no negative comments about our neighbors. She stated:
Nawaz Sharif did not want to say anything against India and Jadhav through the Foreign Office. It did not benefit the country but I do not know whether it benefited his [Nawaz’s] own interests or not. Usually, every prime minister of Pakistan meets Hurriyat leaders but Nawaz Sharif did not meet them when he visited India. It is a false and biased expression of an individual’s views, based on her personal predilections.
Again, it was Mian Sahab who refused to accede to the entreaties of world powers while rejecting their economic offers and insisting on carrying out six nuclear tests not only to restore strategic parity with India, but to demonstrate the invincibility of Pakistan’s non conventional assets. The principled manner in which he dealt with the issue of Pakistan’s relations with its eastern neighbour is well documented. Finally, it was Mian Sahab who was critical of the proposal made by a Pakistan’s military dictator to India to abandon the UN Security Council Resolutions that sanctify the righteousness of Pakistan’s stand on Kashmir. In the face of these established and well known facts, no credence need be attached to the frivolous and baseless comments of the retired official of the Foreign Office. The facts speak for themselves. Facts and reality are a matter of record
