subject: TERRORISM: A GRIM PICTURE [print this page] The current trend, hostile opinion with other country and its subjects emerged mainly because of terrorism, is not healthy when both India and Pakistan are aiming to resolve all the outstanding issues, including the cross-border terrorism. We should keep in our mind that, any peace process is being influenced by domestic developments. If the people are not infavour of peace process then any efforts will be futile exercise. As we know the public opinion is very powerful factor which shapes both domestic and foreign policy of any nations. If both the governments, India and Pakistan, is serious in normalizing the bilateral relations, this hostile opinion should be removed from the people's mind of both countries. Then only any fruitful results could be achieved. The responsibility for removing this misperception is lies with both the countries.
