Imran Khan is a hurdle in peace talks: Foreign policy expert

In an exclusive interview with ETV Bharat, foreign policy expert Harsh V Pant talked about Imran Khan being a hurdle in talks between the two countries.

New Delhi:With Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan continuing his relentless attacks on India through his Twitter handle, the Observer Research Foundation's Director Research Prof Harsh V Pant claimed that he is making virtually impossible for both countries to have a conversation.

Talking exclusively to ETV Bharat on Imran Khan's latest tweet where he blamed India for diverting international community's attention from Kashmir issue, he said, "It seems that the efforts of Imran Khan to internationalise New Delhi's decision to revoke article 370 are certainly not working. The more it's not working, the more desperate he and his tweets are becoming."

He further asserted saying, "The best position for Pakistan is to sit bilaterally with India. The more divisive rhetoric he will give, the more difficult it will become for him."

Pointing towards the support India has fetched from the international community on the Kashmir issue, the foreign policy expert even stressed saying that many traditional partners of Pakistan including UAE have backed India and asked Pakistan to resolve it bilaterally.
