    ‘Aman Ki Asha’ in Pakistani Media: Requiem for a Peace Process?

    The peace process between India and Pakistan came to an abrupt halt with the Mumbai attacks on November 26, 2008 (26/11). Ironically, the attacks were carried out by Pakistani terrorists minutes after the foreign ministers of both countries met in New Delhi and pledged to take the composite dialogue process forward. Ever since, Pakistan's unwillingness to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks to justice has come in the way of resumption of the composite dialogue. There have been many false starts, but the process continues to be in a state of suspended animation.

Musharraf's proposals were taken seriously and widely hailed as a sign of flexibility and pragmatism from the Pakistani side.
