On this occasion, she made a public statement about opening doors of friendship between neighbours.
Recalling her ancestral roots in Jatti Umra, a village near Amritsar in Indian Punjab, and her father Nawaz Sharif's commitment to cross-border dialogue, she made a strong emotional appeal.
News reports indicate that her uncle Shehbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Pakistan, has been approached by business leaders to initiate trade talks with India. Malik Ahmad Khan, the Speaker of Punjab Provincial Assembly, too has called for the resumption of trade. This is a positive development, given the breakdown of diplomatic ties between the two countries after the abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution that guaranteed a special status to Jammu & Kashmir.
While India is currently busy with elections, one hopes that the incoming government will respond to these friendly overtures. We cannot remain in a hostile relationship forever. The desire to move forward and craft a harmonious future is being expressed in India as well.
