New Delhi’s propaganda machinery constantly remains in top gear when it comes to berating Islamabad in the eyes of the world. The thicker the soup Pakistan is in the louder the noises it makes about its so-called culpability in one crime or the other. And as Pakistan at present is buffeted by daunting challenges from all sides, no other moment could be more conducive for the Indian propagandists to trying to put it on the mat. Presently, India’s purpose of levelling allegations about terrorist cells in Pakistan poised to disturb the peace in India sits well with the international community that never tires of voicing concern about terrorist sanctuaries here. Taking shelter under the threat of terrorism, it refuses to accept Islamabad’s demand and outside pressure to restart the stalled composite dialogue. Since it is hard to conceive of another way to settle the lingering disputes than peaceful negotiations - war being a suicidal option between the two nuclear states - the stories making the rounds about back channel diplomacy gain credibility. That, in view of the manner in which the government is surrendering our sovereign rights, is, indeed, a worrisome prospect and must be replaced with the normal diplomatic practice of dialogue.
