countries achieve strong economic growth while preserving one party rule and trump was happy to fly the flag of his host saying north korea could thrive if it follows vietnam's example. we both felt very good about having this very important summit in vietnam because you really are an example as to what can happen with good thinking. if thursday's talks go well a city wants synonymous with war could become a symbol for peace. i feel very happy because world leaders are coming to vietnam to talk about peace to see each other and to shake hands. but this summit has to be about more than handshakes and friendly gestures it needs to set a framework for future talks and there could be many more of those adrian brown al-jazeera hanoi. still ahead on al-jazeera running for their lives dozens of casualties after a high speed train crash in egypt. five g.

welcome to the program i'm laura kyle india and pakistan have laid claim to the himalayan region of kashmir for more than seventy as one of the world's longest running disputes and events escalated in the past two weeks ultra suicide bombing killed forty one indian soldiers in indian kashmir on tuesday indian. and pakistani territories saying it was targeting group behind the attack. at least six people died during heavy shelling across the disputed regions line of control then pakistan announced it shot down two indian fighter jets and its as space but india said only one of its planes crashed and that its forces took down a pakistani war play. course. and force this.

course quite. well. well seen both concourses. on this on the other stuff it. in this is. we have unfortunately lost when we went to go. by it is missing in action. and there's a plane there he is in their custody. pakistan's prime minister emraan call on is calling for talks with india to deescalate the crisis. sort of one year but then we decided to take action today we only wanted to show india that we're able to and if you come into our land we will always retaliate to indian jets across the border and they were shot down i will say the pilots are with us the problem is

where do we go from here this is a very important issue i am addressing india it is very important that we use wisdom here let's take a quick look at the history of this long conflict kashmir came under dispute off the petition of india and pakistan in one hundred forty seven then dillies are of the mostly muslim region chose to join india on condition that a referendum would be held and never was in the first kashmir war india and pakistan fought for more than a year the un imposed a cease fire line and called on pakistan to withdraw there was a second war in one thousand nine hundred sixty five and seven years later the two countries signed an agreement for the line of control dividing kashmir into one part under indian administration the other pakistani was has been going on going violence since then and it's estimated forty seven thousand lives have been lost.

ok well let's bring in our panel now in islamabad mo a political commentator in pakistan and geo strategic analyst in new delhi skype sanjay cack editor of witness kashmir one thousand nine hundred six to two thousand and sixteen and a specialist on the kashmir conflict and in london. a senior lecturer in international relations at the department of war studies at king's college london a very warm welcome to all of you at night if i can start with you because a lot has happened or when's the jets downed lives lost plenty of competing narratives what's the situation as you see it. well right now i think that in some senses the sort of mutual retaliation of air strikes is actually getting us hopefully to a situation in which we can start deescalating india has achieved its objectives in terms of hitting supposedly jaish

e mohammad camps inside of pakistan but then pakistan feels especially since its own. challenges in terms of its airspace following the capture of bin laden in two thousand and eleven. feels like it needed to respond to this abrogation of its own airspace and now it has done so and actually. could be seen as having sort of two indian up to india to indian pilots hopefully from from from now we have a situation which india and pakistan have both achieved their primary objectives and now have a space for potentially the escalating the conflict that would would you agree with that because these as strikes mean that the almost unprecedented outlay in this very long running conflict it was a viable escalation but have we now weeks the point. where both sides say a-k.

is laid all calls on the table now we're ready to back down. our i just heard the gentleman from new delhi and i agree with him even in islamabad and all across pakistan there is no appetite or desire for escalation in fact pakistanis are very surprised by the indian intervention and the attack on the so called the surgical strike because pakistani sees no reason for this kind of you know the indian attack the understanding of islam about a really clear consensus understanding in islam about this that whatever been the member movie government is doing it is to do with the indian elections that did you through in which the number will be wanted to win all the sympathies with bank of the him be valid and north of india and he is picking up a confrontation and tension with pakistan that will help in the elections and unfortunately he has

a history of from two thousand and two onward when he first became the chief minister of the indian state of gujarat he has been picking up one other kind of extremist theme ok and right now i'm just an example and having only one occasion she hasn't i'm sure that will bring this up with our indian guest that indian politics does play a part in this but i just want to pick you up on that point that you made a that there was no reason for india's attack on the training camp of the mohammedan of course india would say there was every reason because it blames jai she mohammed for the biggest attack in indian administered kashmir that is as seen in years where more than forty indian paramilitary soldiers were killed. you know look at the india accused pakistan without first investigating the whole thing the attack took place on the side of a road with deep inside the indian administration occupied a german kish me india claimed that three hundred fifty kilograms of r.d.x. was used in the attack india also said the attack was carried out by young nineteen

year or a cinema boy by the name of others. and the fact that he was in and he was basically a citizen over there so then by india said the video has been posted by jewish and mom but if you do investigate where the video was posted who posted the video and immediately what indian media does not tell the world is that the moment this video turned up the jewish him home but whatever it was in pakistan started denying the said he had nothing to do with it b have no knowledge of it but this is what the indian media does not envy him going public right then the idea that a lot of that but that's just what is subject to what pakistan can do in this instance because what investigation to pakistan launch into this group and into these training camps which a clearly very easy to access. barcus than is continuously are asking india to provide any form of intelligence any form of actionable evidence or evidence it's very clear that not only why not but why it's on to find his own intelligence wasn't evidence what football look what could pakistan investigate into unless

india basically provides any evidence that connects with any pakistani group or citizen with what happened in full mama how would pakistan investigate but i mean that's what is strange india has to provide some evidence even now pakistan is asking them even today india has to wait some evidence by some elect on that sunday let's bring you in at this point on the one hundred got pakistan saying it doesn't want to escalate this crisis or go to war it's it's offering a sense an olive branch hasn't it to india for talks on the other hand saying that this group is not responsible and india had no right to launch a strike on as territory so where is india sitting at the moment what's its response likely to be if i may you know i think this binary between india and pakistan it's as if this these these these the fight was happening over some kind of invisible tell a tree which didn't have a history and a story of its all so i think that the apparently is reconciliation bill

differences between india and pakistan. somewhere in all this in all this noise and bluster in the brinkmanship there is never enough space given in this flurry of charges and countercharges about what the issue finally is about and the issue is about push me you know and i think that fundamentally to reduce what is happening in kashmir and that is the fundamental problem if there was not a political a deep political problem within kashmir. what is happening today would not be happening so india and pakistan are both engaging in a kind of shadow war all worth an area about which to which the conversation never turns and i think every time we talk about forty soldiers being killed on an aircraft been downed we should also ask what is the soil on which it's happening

this is not pakistan this is not india's alone it is a region called mean and that is never given adequate space absolutely and then on that point i mean let's let's turn to history a little bit just to get a deeper understanding of this region that we're talking about the u.n. ceasefire it demanded many decades ago a referendum to determine what kashmir is actually wanted and that never happened why not. well i mean the indian position is that the referendum could only have occurred after pakistan had disarmed and with withdrew pakistan's point of view is that the referendum never occurred and so therefore indian control over kashmir is illegitimate i mean i completely agree that the the real victims of this kind of brinkmanship in this this competition are in fact the people of kashmir who. are most of them especially in the kashmir

valley under the administration and under the governance of the indian government and then over time the indian government has put forward larger strategic concerns rather than over the interests of the cautionary people at various points the same time pockets on it doesn't put the pockets of the kashmiri people first either but rather uses kashmir as a kind of a bargaining chip chip in a sort of broader competition between india and pakistan that goes back from a to a very early moment in india pakistani relationships in which pakistan felt like it's existential that it felt an existential threat to its own existence i don't think that in. you know it would you are doing this that's that's fine it's if i'm married agrees with that the pakistan uses kashmir for all indians fall into is

false pakistan is also partly to blame because it uses this region as a bargaining chip that could be true that's an academic discussion but it's important for our viewers to understand that what's happening in cash me since two thousand and fourteen which has created this new form of for political it and see has to do with in the number of movie government trying to change the special status of the state of jammu and kashmir because i'm going to just tell you then that you can't just dismiss dismiss pakistan's role as an academic discussion it needs to take responsibility as well for its actions but talking to india we've got sanjay to give the indian point of view we need to get the pakistani point of view from you could pakistan should pakistan be doing more the pakistan is not in the in in any pakistan it has no intentions to go on of war on kashmir the situation where three experiencing right now is not necessarily related to india has serious political problem since two thousand and thirteen ever since the bt government came

into power in new delhi and they wanted to change the special status of the state of german kashmir which was given to them under the constitution of india which is article three sixty three seventy and then article thirty five of the indian constitution this is what the problem against which to you think ashmead is reacting what we are seeing right now is a totally different thing there is an election in india an epidural an indian government is using its this whole. is trying to ship a narrative for winning the elections this is how we see if you if you want to happen to be in pakistan this is how we see it this is indian election pakistan has become a domestic issue in the indian politics is thought about kashmir they tell it it's about kashmir a story about kashmir ok i think i think sanjay would probably agree with you that sanjay is that true that you would concede that point that maybe is totally using the kashmir issue to play in. to this election that's coming up and of every said i would absolutely agree i think that right now the fact that the killing of forty

soldiers in this suicide attack has come at what is unfortunately a very proficient moment for the known or more the government because they are looking into an election not too far away in which they're increasingly finding their incredible the incredible support that they came into government in twenty fourteen with slipping away very fast and they definitely needed something like this to galvanize support so if it's a coincidence it's incredibly useful a coincidence for them that this thing has happened and of course they have milked it for all it's for all it seem your take and symbolic value there's no doubt about that but having said that i think that just simply think that it's only the in the more the government which is a caused such this kind of you know they the upsurge in the level of pressure the

question the people are feeling that's not true there's a very long history which is at least thirty years already if not seventy years old so i think there is a there's a great deal of disingenuousness even on the part of the pakistani position where they see that you know that they play the game as well you know the brinkmanship is and the political posturing including i would like to see including iran khan's very statesman like statements these are all part of posturing that leaderships in both countries do in order to reach out to their own political constituencies. and i can only come back to the fact that everybody seems to ignore the fact that the twenty year old who blew up those forty soldiers was a young missionary that when the aircraft falls on the soil of you know of on crush me soil it's question of the civilians who are. or die along with. the soldiers who die that when india launches

a cross border raid these are question midis even if they are across the line of control is question it is who are dying so i cannot overstate the importance that if we're ever going to understand what the issue and how are we going to resolve it which is how you began this program with well i would like to tell the world and whoever's listening that they've got to stop thinking of it as just an india and pakistan issue because unless you get beyond the toddler in this game and that's the question we people on both sides of the border say this i don't think we're going to make a step right sanjay we want to cast mary's want do they want independence i think that if you know this is a kind of a simple question which needs a complicated answer yes some do many. also want a merger with pakistan that cannot be denied and many of them would like some kind

of an autonomous relationship with india and some might actually want to be a part of india but the simple sort of the big issue is that how will you ever ascertain what kashmiris want so long as the situation is as hideously abnormal as in is right now you know the fact that this was a convoy of two thousand five hundred soldiers which was attacked as an ordinary day you know in kashmir where you have upward of half a million soldiers so in a situation of such grotesque militarization how will we ever be able to ask that question fairly what new question is one how will any kind of election whether it's to the national parliament whether it's to the state assembly with us to a municipality whatever level how can we ever think. that these are genuine barometers of public opinion so i would say if you were to demilitarize kashmir for a period of five or ten years then you would know what kashmiris want do they want

independence do they want to go to pakistan do they want a kind of relationship with india or do they want to be a part of india we will not know the answers to these questions until the situation of normality continues and that is what requires a global intervention and that i was going to get on to that what would it take for the world's most militarized zone this region this kashmir region to become demilitarized or at least for india sesame to draw back its presence of troops in the kashmir valley region. i think it's a very good question i don't know if there is an answer unfortunately i think that the the problem is that it's very hard to unscramble eggs and the the ratcheting up of militarization leads to a lot of discontent which is then exploited which then leads to greater attacks which then leads to greater military zation and i think that one of the things one

of the things that have has really driven this in both india and pakistan is the sheer intensity of electoral competition in which is not actually represented the the pakistan and mr john when kashmir is not actually represented in the pakistan national assembly which is is is unfortunate and in india most of the votes for the b j p but also for congress and other opposition parties don't come from questionnaire at all so in part i think that the notion of the sort of national national politics and the sort of saber rattling and waving the flag around elections which in india happen quite quite frequently and in pakistan more regularly is is increasingly sidelining. increasingly sidelining ordinary kashmiris and

make it more rather than less likely that there will just be increasing militarization and indeed increasing spending on defense on india and in pakistan investments in their forces investments and strategic capabilities so in i ates the right question to ask i don't know whether there is a political way forward right. we know that the situation in india as far as kashmir is concerned is. far from ideal but i'm interested to know what the conversation is in pakistan and how much temptation is given to what kashmiris themselves want and if it is independence would that ever be granted a look pakistani of the different kind of positions within pakistan i mean the pakistani government obviously has a very traditional position the think tank community has

a different position i just heard the gentleman from new delhi and he i think he's gotten on he is very rational when he says that it is absolutely essential to deescalate the situation in kashmir of it almost like seven hundred thousand armed soldiers in kashmir or this is in addition to the central reserve police and so negative kashmir police and all that it is a dire need for demilitarization in cash we've no one in pakistan in a rational mind frame thinks that kashmir issue can be this or very quickly or kashmir can become pakistan also it is now understood that any region that has seen so much convulsion and so much violence and so much struggle against any kind of authority that it been given authority in this case has developed an identity a new identity of its own so the what is required is also the india's previous governments of congress and the coalition government before more vice in dealing with the situation in kashmir so the kind of situation that is now. extreme to any

position which is in kashmir since two thousand and fourteen will not prevail ian was not prepared and before and now before the indian government would always come up with some sort of conciliatory package some sort of negotiation some sort of engagement in kashmir so what the move the government has done it hasn't really engaged me to util because media leadership it has taken a very hard stand which is even unpopular in india so this time to deescalate in kashmir. india has to take steps pakistan cannot take those steps at them ok and sanjay you brought up before that the need for international intervention hell its national hell. efforts what needs to happen on the international stage to try to resolve this conflict has been going on for more than seventy yes well for the first the first thing i think would be to just increase the level of scrutiny i think that. i have been doing a remarkable job of telling their own stories documenting what's been going on

trying to understand trying to make a way forward. but you know that kind of a conversation needs an audience you know i think that with and it's not as if you know that when i stock about international scrutiny and we know what what how politicized that is that really it whether it's a it's a it's u.s. interest or european interest it's always guided by their own self interest you know so american in to attention for example will rise a great deal and they're trying to pressurize india when they're trying to concede space the coverage will disappear but we have seen some remarkable steps in recent times i mean the the un for example last year came out with quite a scathing report on the situation in kashmir and even though the current political regime in new delhi may seem to be undeterred by what the word thinks of

what is going on in kashmir we do know that in the end it is public opinion that matter whether it's domestic public opinion whether it's international public opinion so i'm not exactly doc all about you know white helmets or blue helmets landing up it's you know their effort not at all i'm not sure that they have ever sold any problem anywhere in the world and they are unlikely to do so in india but i think just as an international audience we have to pay attention to what's going on it's very much indeed we have run out of time for discussions that we have any good one thank you for joining us molly sunday cack and at man nasima. and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any times by visiting our website that's al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion to go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com ford slash inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter at a.j. inside story from me and the whole team here it's by fanatics.
