Tension on Indo-Pak border rises

The West often reports concern over relations between Pakistan and India and news that talks, if only by telephone, have been taking place, leading to the statement that the "Time of War" has passed, are encouraging. 

This is especially welcome as only a few days ago reports that tensions were rising on the Indo-Pak border.

The Pakistani establishment now believes that the "time of war" with India is over and the recent telephonic contacts at the highest

military level have led to reduction in tensions generated in the wake of troop build up following the Mumbai terror attacks.

"The time of war has gone and even India cannot dare mount surgical strikes primarily because of the uncertain response," an unnamed top official told The News daily after the Directors General of Military Operations of the two countries spoke on their hotline over the weekend.

This is a very good statement to be made by Pakistan and wise as well. It would be nice to hear the same from India.

Yes a joint statement would be fantastic.

Good. India did not rush to the border. The accidental artillery shot did not come. The usual great danger of the Middle East explosion is foremost now.
