Failure of talks

MUMBAI: This is with reference to your report of July 17 titled “India media slams Pakistan over talks ‘failure’’’. It seems the talks were orchestrated under international pressure and that neither of the foreign ministers were ready to take the process further or understand the concerns of the other side. As for the media in India, it is very reactionary and the slightest action of Shah Mehmood Qureshi would be discussed threadbare by six panelists on some morbid talk show. The stability and growth of culturally rich Pakistan is an asset to India.
