It is the right time to make peace with India: Najam Sethi

Lahore, Aug 17(ANI): Noted Pakistani journalist Najam Sethi has said that it is the right time to make peace with India, as all the major players, including President Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif and the US want this to happen.

Speaking in a television programme, Sethi said that Pakistan would never get such a "golden opportunity" for peaceful relations with India, The Daily Times reports.

Sethi further talked about Pakistan's internal issues, where he said that the Government should accord priority to the country's internal affairs.

He also highlighted that an independent judiciary was the need of the hour in Pakistan, and said that media had a vital role to play in strengthening the country.

"Media would help parliament become strong and independent," Sethi said.

Sethi also claimed that the ruling coalition was not as popular as the opposition, and said that it was unfortunate the US and the army had to step in to resolve the issue involving judges'. (ANI)
