The growing sentiment against American bully in Indian subcontinent – India and Pakistan jointly snub America

Indian subcontinent is no Iraq. Indian and Pakistani delegations jointly agreed in the India global forum meet organized by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies.

India and Pakistan perhaps for the first time joined hands on Sunday rejecting US overtures to mediate in resolving bilateral disputes between the two countries.

Former US Ambassador Robert D. Blackwill and former American Pacific commander Admiral (retd.) Dennis C. Blair in their presentations sent Pakistani envoys General (rtd) Jehangir Karamat and Shahid Malik squirming.

While Blackwill said the US and India needed to "talk in very private" about Pakistan since its future was "so highly uncertain", the former US Commander called for joint India-US counter-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir and Afghanistan.

These suggestions were not only rejected by Pakistani delegates Karamat and Malik, but also by the Indian strategists attending the meeting. They too snubbed the US strategists for seeking a political role in South Asia.

Irked at Blackwell's suggestions, General (Retd.) Jehangir Karamat, former chief of the Pakistan Army and Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S, who attended the Forum meetings told Americans that India-Pakistan bilateral dialogue was far more important than any dialogue with Washington.

Echoing Karamat, Pakistan's High Commissioner in India Shahid Malik also asked US delegates to allow India and Pakistan to conduct their relations bilaterally.
