In a speech on âEurope, Germany and Pakistanâ arranged by Government College Universityâs Political Science Department, Dr Brummer said Pakistan should move closer to India by solving the smaller problems before moving onto the major ones, such as Kashmir. Dr Brummer said there are certain perceptions of Pakistan in the world, especially European, that hinder closer ties. âThey feel many sources of instability, such as infiltration in Kashmir, a hampered democracy, meaning the functioning of democratic institutions and debate on the Legal Framework Order. There are doubts about nuclear proliferation and human rights issues such as sectarian violence, drug abuse and womenâs rights. These are deeply concerning.â |
