Manmohan Singh: Legacy of a peacemaker
The Hindu“India should seize the present moment, as it will get the best possible deal from Pakistan, and time is running out,” Munir Chowdhary, a former colleague of Murtaza Bhutto, the assassinated son of Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Bhutto, told me at his house in Mirpur area of Pakistan controlled Jammu and Kashmir in January 2006. As Jammu & Kashmir headed into election mode, I met Dr. Singh at New Delhi’s India International Centre in August 2002 at a fellowship event. We need to put in place measures to ensure that spoilers in Pakistan are deterred.” On May 22, 2004, Dr. Singh became India’s 13th Prime Minister. Manmohan Singh left a lasting imprint on India’s external relations Another significant event during Dr. Singh’s tenure was the visit of Pakistani journalists to Jammu and Kashmir from October 3 to 9, 2004, on the invitation of the Indian chapter of the South Asian Free Media Association. A few months later, a delegation from the Indian side visited Pakistan and toured the Mirpur and Muzaffarabad areas of Pakistani-controlled Jammu & Kashmir, including meeting with Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf.
