Letter.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 6Mar 19 Peace is only possible if Pakistan fights terror groups  I refer to Rashmee Roshan Lall’s article Amid all the turmoil, peace could break out between India and Pakistan (March 4). This comment piece elaborately expresses the need for the ongoing crisis between India and Pakistan to finally end. Despite a gesture by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan, who decided to release a captured Indian pilot, tensions escalated again in Kashmir just a few days later.I find this infuriating and unacceptable. Militant groups in Pakistan have been crossing the Line of Control and attacking Indian soldiers and civilians. Pakistan should put a stop to this unnecessary violence.Pakistanis are starting to feel the consequences of their Prime Minister’s lax control of terror groups in their country. Releasing the Indian pilot as an act of good faith is not enough. Imran Khan should seriously work on eradicating terror groups operating within Pakistan altogether, only then will India take his appeal for dialogue seriously.The ball is in Imran Khan’s court and I hope he will make the right decision.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
