Frankly speaking restoration of democracy in Pakistan may not be of any help in improving bilateral relations between India and Pakistan. If we look at our past experience we will find that no political outfit that have come to power in Pakistan has made any constructive contribution in promoting bilateral relations with India on a permanent basis. In fact, all of them have highlighted threat from India as a means for diverting public attention from more burning internal issues. A section of the civil society in Pakistan may be genuinely interested in having better relations with India. However, in no power dispensation in Pakistan so far they have had any decisive voice One has to remember that Pakistan came into existence with hate Hindu i.e. India agenda and even sixty years on , India remains a top selling commodity for any political outfit in Pakistan. Any political party that may show any inclination to improve relations with India will immediately become unpopular and a subject matter of criticism by other political parties.
