In an exclusive interview to TOI, former Pakistan envoy to the US Husain Haqqani weighs in on the neighbours' fractured ties and the vexed Kashmir question Consistent engagement or sustained isolation are the only two options between India and Pakistan, says Husain Haqqani, former Pakistan envoy to the US and Sri Lanka."These on-again-off-again talks do not yield results, nor do threats that are not carried out. That's our history," adds Haqqani, a leading South Asia expert and academic as well as a key aide to former Pakistan president Asif Zardari.
Afghanistan plans to take Pakistan to the UN security council over its continuing support to the Taliban, which Kabul says is destabilizing their country. Hekmat Khalil Karzai, deputy foreign minister told TOI in an exclusive chat, that after the deadly Taliban attack in Kabul last week, the Ghani government is exploring the UNSC option.
The United States on Thursday welcomed a reported plan by Pakistan to ban the Haqqani Network blamed for some deadly attacks on American and NATO-led forces in Afghanistan.
