Proceedings of the Shura started with the recitation of Holy Quran by Col® Hameed Afridi. Speaker and President of the Shura introduced the topic of discussion. He was of the view that negotiations to resolve all outstanding disputes between Pakistan and India be resumed on a priority basis. Haji Mohammad Javed speaking on this occasion said that we must thoroughly study the possible effects of good relations between Pakistan and India on our Politics and Economy.  He said it is commendable that in India democracy is flourishing t while in our country democracy has still not taken firm roots. That’s why we negotiate with India with a weaker position.

Maulana Saeeduddin Sherkoti speaking on this occasion said that no one can oppose the idea of good neighborly relations between Pakistan and India, but we must keep in mind the fact that Pakistan was created on the basis of Islamic Ideology.  So whenever we decide to negotiate with India we must always keep in mind this ideology. Col.® Hameed Afridi in his observations said that the basic hurdle between Pakistan India relations up till now was this that India has not accepted the very basis of creation of Pakistan. Dr. Iqbal Khaleel speaking on this occasion said that the basic cause of our strained relations with India is the issue of Kashmir. He said that unless we resolve this core issue there could be no good relations between Pakistan and India.

Expressing his views Haji Mohammad Adeel said that we must take lession from Indian elections and thereafter smooth transfer of power. Abdul Karim Kundi said that in terms of democracy India has set some good examples and we must learn lesson from them. Hakeem Abdul Waheed expressing his views said that Congress has historically never shown friendly stance towards Pakistan, so we must take a firm stand while negotiating with present Congress government of India. Justice® Burhanuddin said that before negotiations the whole nation must be taken into confidence.

Dr. Zahoor Ahmad Awan said that we must negotiate with India on an equal basis. He said that by the grace of Allah we are an atomic power and are not inferior or weaker than any country including India. Haji Ghulam Ahmad Bilour expressing his views on the topic said that during the past few years the world has changed drastically. We can’t survive in isolation. He said that we must have meaningful dialogue with India. Good relations between these two neighbors will be beneficial not only for these two countries but they will also have a positive impact on the whole region.

Summing up the discussion Speaker of Hamdard Shura Dr. Abdul Mateen said that we must participate in negotiations with India but without any compromise on the basic principles and our stand on different issues.
