India responds to Nawaz Sharif’s remarks, calls it a perspective based on reality

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: India on Thursday responded to former Pakistani premier Nawaz Sharif’s contention that Islamabad violated the Lahore Declaration of 1999, saying that a “perspective based on reality” is emerging on the Pakistani side. Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was re-elected president of Pakistan's ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N party in 2017, when he was forced out of office while facing corruption allegations. Soon after Sharif was re-elected as president of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party in Lahore on Tuesday, he told a gathering that Islamabad violated the peace agreement signed by him and former Indian premier Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Sharif, whose brother Shehbaz Sharif is the current prime minister of Pakistan, also recalled that former US president Bill Clinton offered Islamabad aid worth $5 billion so that it wouldn’t go ahead with nuclear tests in 1998, but he turned this down.
