In his view, the answer lay in the leadership of both countries ending the вЂњblame gameвЂќ and approaching the relationship with fresh and open minds. Retired Lt Gen Naeem Lodhi, another former defence secretary, echoed Mr Malik when he noted that there was no dГ©tente in sight. Mr Malik listed a number of measures he expected the government to undertake - both internally and externally - in order to effectively deal with the challenge posed by India: de-linking Pak-Afghan ties from the Pak-India relationship, safeguarding the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) from sabotage, tackling political fissures over CPEC, pursuing water security more seriously, and appointing a full-time foreign minister. He said India continued to play вЂњcat and mouseвЂќ in ties with Pakistan. He recalled Prime Minister ModiвЂ™s belligerent posture towards Pakistan during his election campaign, when he talked about making Pakistan irrelevant in a geo-political context at both the regional and national levels.

It cannot be freedom for one and slavery for another.ISLAMABAD: Former defence secretaries want the government to be extra cautious in pursuing a normalisation process with India because they do not see a major shift in DelhiвЂ™s policy on its ties with Pakistan. Jinnah asserted that Pakistan meant freedom for Hindus also because without freedom to the Hindus there could be no Pakistan. But compulsory liquidation will have none of these advantages and the British Empire will have to be liquidated one day.вЂќ It will redound to the honour of the British nation and it will be recognised by us as an act of friendship which has got its value and price for the future. I would say voluntary liquidation is more honourable than a compulsory one. Churchill said that he would not preside over His MajestyвЂ™s GovernВment to liquidate the British Empire. Jinnah said: вЂњIt is astonishing that the Crown RepreВsenВtative can think that he can win this war while he is totally indifferent to the political situation.
