Want serious, sincere talks on Kashmir with PM Modi: Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif

Calling for “serious and sincere talks” on “burning points like Kashmir” with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that Islamabad has learned its lesson after three wars with India and now wants to establish peaceful ties with the neighbor.
In an interview with Dubai-based Al Arabiya TV, Shehbaz Sharif said: “My message to the Indian leadership and Prime Minister Modi is that let’s sit down on the table and have serious and sincere talks to resolve our burning points like Kashmir. It is up to us to live peacefully and make progress or quarrel with each other and waste time and resources.”
Sharif said that three wars with India have resulted in nothing but poverty, misery and unemployment to the people.
“We have learnt our lesson, and we want to live in peace with India, provided we are able to resolve our genuine problems,” Sharif said in the interview aired on Monday.
Shehbaz Sharif said that neither India nor Pakistan can change their geographical location and they are neighbors forever, even if not by choice and its up to New Delhi and Islamabad to either learn to live peacefully and progress or quarrel and waste time and resources.
On the subject of Kashmir, Sharif said that Pakistan wants peace but “what is happening in Kashmir should be stopped.”
In November 2022, India had hit out at Pakistan for raking up the Kashmir issue during a United Nations debate terming it a “desperate attempt to peddle falsehoods”.
As we meet today to discuss UNSC reforms, a representative of Pakistan has yet again made unwarranted references to Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir remains an integral and inalienable part of India irrespective of what Pakistan’s representative believes,” Pratik Mathur, Permanent Mission of India to UN, had said in the right to reply during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meet on UN Security Council.
Adding “Pakistan’s desperate attempts to peddle falsehoods and a bad habit of abusing the sanctity of multilateral forums deserves collective contempt and perhaps sympathies as well.”
Pakistan Foreign Affairs Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had spoken about alleged human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, in the Al Arabiya interview, Sharif hoped that engineers, doctors, and skilled labourers in India and Pakistan could be utilized as assets to further prosperity and peace in both nations.
“Pakistan does not want to waste resources on bombs and ammunition. We are nuclear powers, armed to the teeth, and if God forbids, a war breaks out, who will live to tell what happened?” the Pakistani leader asked.

Delhi court extends Manish Sisodia’s judicial custody till April 3
A court in the national capital, Monday, extended the judicial custody of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia by 14 days, till April 3.

A court in the national capital, Monday, extended the judicial custody of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia by 14 days, till April 3.
Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on February 26 in connection with its ongoing probe into the purported Delhi excise policy ‘scam’ case.
The CBI told Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court that their investigation into the alleged scam is still pending and at a crucial stage which requires Sisodia’s further detention in judicial custody.
The development comes mere two days after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was granted the AAP leader’s custody for five more days, till March 22.
On Friday last, 51-year-old Sisodia’s ED custody was extended by a court in Delhi till March 22. The ED had told the court that Sisodia was allegedly involved in “large-scale destruction of digital evidence to impede the investigation” and had purportedly changed and destroyed 14 phones.
Manish Sisodia was arrested on March 9 by the ED while he was already lodged in Tihar jail in case against him by the CBI in connection with the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy case.
A Delhi court last week extended the former Deputy CM’s custody by five days after the ED sought more time for investigating the charges.
The ED told the court that some vital information had come up during custody and he had to be confronted with the other accused.
After the court’s decision, senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha on Friday had claimed that central probe agencies don’t have any evidence, only “fabricated and malicious” stories against Sisodia.
Speaking at a presser, Chadha had accused the BJP of engaging in “politics of revenge” which he claimed was the reason behind Sisodia’s arrest. He had also claimed that the CBI and the ED don’t have any evidence against the former Deputy CM, adding that the probe agencies only questioned Sisodia for 15 hours during seven days of remand.
Chadha had claimed said the BJP was “scared” of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He further claimed that the probe agencies only have “concocted stories” against Sisodia, and when the CBI couldn’t find anything against him during their interrogation, they asked the ED to “frame more false cases.”

Last week, a similar case came to the fore from a village in Madhya Pradesh where an elderly man allegedly committed suicide days after he was punished in a Taliban-esque manner. The victim was reportedly abducted and then shackled to a tree by iron chains, tortured and assaulted, reportedly by the family of a girl who eloped with his son in a village of the state’s Chhatarpur district.
A video of the horrific incident which went viral on social media last Monday, showed the man, identified as Udha Ahirwar, a resident of Panchampur village, chained to a tree—hand and feet—as a woman, presumably his wife feeds him food and water.
According to reports, Ahirwar’s son, Shankar Ahirwar, works as a labour in Rajasthan with the prime accused, Zandu Ahirwar’s son-in-law, a resident of Peera village. Shankar reportedly eloped with Zandu’s granddaughter after the couple fell in love.
The couple got married last month and since then Zandu allegedly began torturing Shankar’s parents, reports said.
