Nawaz Sharief seeks 'serious talks' with India
Nawaz Sharif, who is poised to become Pakistan's prime minister
after gaining a clear lead in general elections, has sought ''serious
talks'' with India.
''This is a very good time to have serious talks with India,''
he told the German press agency DPA. ''We should live like good
neighbours instead of blaming each other for our problems.''
Sharif, who was prime minister from 1990 till 1993 when he was
sacked in a power tussle with the president, also felt the need
for changing Islamabad's Afghanistan policy.
''We will take a fresh look at the Afghan policy. Some changes
and alterations have to be made," he said. There must be
consensus among all parties.
''Frankly we were not expecting this. We have more than a comfortable
majority,'' the industrialist-turned-politician said while commenting
on his Pakistan Muslim League Party's wins over the Pakistan People's
Party of sacked prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
