INDIA & PAKISTAN TO TACKLE TERRORISM TOGETHER

INDIA AND PAKISTAN AGREE TO WORK TOGETHER
TO CLEAR MENACE OF TERRORISM FROM THE REGION
ISLAMABAD (AP) - Pakistan and India go a step closer as both countries agreed that terrorism is the dominant issue in the region. The conference of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) held in Pakistan's capital Islamabad issued a joint declaration on Saturday revealing that the member countries, especially Pakistan and India, agreed over cooperation against terrorism. In the joint declaration the South Asian countries vowed that none of the member country's soil should be used against other state. India pressed Pakistan to put more suspects on trial for alleged links to the 2008 Mumbai attacks in a sign of persistent tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals, who are trying to resume peace talks. But in an indication that relations might be beginning to thaw, the two countries ended the day by vowing to work together to bring those who planned the assault to justice.

Indian Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said he had raised the issue with Pakistan's interior minister during meetings of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation in Islamabad. “We must ensure that terrorists have no free run either in Pakistan or India, and both countries must work together,” he said. Chidambaram did not say whom New Delhi wants to see prosecuted in Pakistan, but Indian authorities had earlier pointed to hard-line cleric Hafiz Sayeed. Sayeed is a founder of Lashkar-i-Taiba, a banned Pakistani militant group blamed in the attacks that killed 166 people in India's financial capital. Pakistan has arrested at least seven other people in connection with the attacks, but its courts have ruled that there is not enough evidence to detain Sayeed. In a sign of the cooperation the rivals committed to Saturday, Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said his country had received additional information from India about the attacks.


These two countries are at odds due to longstanding problems and their four wars in 1948, 1965, 1971 and 1999. The dialogue was suspended after Mumbai attacks. It is necessary to achieve universal brotherhood and fraternity based on Spiritual Understanding. Otherwise, all the political speeches are just words that sound pretty good.



WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US?
Where is peace? The United Nations Organisation (UNO) has taken responsibility for our welfare, but has it brought any peace to the world? When everything is driven by politics, can we ever hope to gain anything? The world today is divided into two camps, each willing to help anyone who submits to it. When such politics prevail, how can we ever offer the real recipe for peace? We will be unable to find it. ... We can never attain it simply by shouting, in various assemblies, “Peace! Peace!” However, our sanātana-risis, or great sages on the path of sanātana-dharma, have given us a clue by which we may attain peace: if we love Bhagavān, the Supreme Controller, and place our faith in Him, all human beings will come to see themselves as part of a single race.
