JUBAIL, SAUDI ARABIA: Last week’s clashes between Pakistani and Indian forces along the Line of Control (LoC) come days after the head of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan said in a video message that he was willing to send his men across the LoC to India to “fight Indian troops and to implement Sharia”. This is a very serious development and both countries should see to it that their bilateral relationship is not overtaken by elements who do not want to see any peace between the two neighbours.
