Nawaz Sharif’s call for Pakistan to take the lead and withdraw troops from Siachen glacier is nothing more than a political statement— remember his feigning ignorance when battalion after battalion of Northern Light Infantry created massive intrusions astride Kargil and wily Musharraf insisted Nawaz was fully briefed? Then came Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Kayani’s call to resolve the dispute saying his country follows “the doctrine of peaceful co-existence with its neighbours especially India”, which would put the slyest of foxes to shame. Surely Indians need no proof of ‘how peaceful’ Pakistan’s policy is towards India. Post this buttered preamble, Kayani called for demilitarisation of Siachen— a statement welcomed by India despite Pakistani foreign ministry rushing to add, “Let this be clear, there is no change in Pakistan's position on Siachen.”
