PANKAJ MISHRA | 9 years ago | Reply Modi's visit to China is one of the historic events for the subcontinent.He should address the recent chinese infiltration across LAC(line of actual control).If china can resolve 17 border issues with other countries in a cordial manner,why can't with India?I woluld like to appeal to my Pakistani friends to mount pressure on their government to resolve all the pending issues through dialogue.Four wars have been fought on this issue of ,rather your leadership should take inspration from china,despite pending border issues our economic ties are getting strengthened day by day.We should wage a war against poverty,illetracy,etcand uplift the living standards of common people.God knows when the day of prosperity will prevail?Through this esteemed newspaper i would like to thank the editor for giving me an opportunity to represent my views.
