He pointed out that when he was the foreign minister of India, he proposed that there should be no city-wise visa. The constituency of peace needs to be pushed forward and the people of the subcontinent have to play their vital role in this regard, he said.
The Kashmir issue can be resolved only through talks; it was high time that there were good relations between India and Pakistan because peace would not prevail until there were good relations between the two countries, Singh maintained. We need continuous engagement if we want to resolve Kashmir issue. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are unique and we should answer our questions ourselves instead of looking towards the West, he said.
He said that for an author, one's book was like a child and burning a book was like burning a child. Singh also shared his remorse over the extremist reaction caused by his book in India. They should have at least read the book before punishing me, he said.
Prior to the Kargil conflict, Singh and Vajpayee came from Amritsar to Lahore on a bus and the Lahore Declaration was signed; but hardly had the ink of the agreement dried when the Kargil War happened. Don't ask me what you did, he said, adding that Siachen was not a water-related issue and needed to be resolved at the earliest. Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was the ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity and he was an Indian for most part of his life, Singh said, adding that the shadows of history were the main stumbling blocks in the peace process in the subcontinent. "Let the people come forward," he remarked.
