ISLAMABAD: Within hours of BJP spokeswoman Nirmala Sitharaman's statement that heads of government from the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation "have been given invitations to be present at Mr Modi's swearing-in", Pakistan's foreign office spokesperson Tasneem Aslam told TOI that "Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's visit to Delhi is yet to be confirmed".

"We've received the formal invitation but it would be premature to speculate whether the PM will visit New Delhi or not," Aslam said.

Sources close to the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), citing Pakistan government's domestic preoccupations with the opposition and the media, its unevenly poised relations with the Army, as well as Sharif's bout of influenza, said the Pakistan PM's date with Modi may not take place.

"In the current scenario, it won't be politically viable for the PM to rush to India. His visit to Delhi would be akin to offering desserts to his opponents, particularly Tehreek-e-Insaaf chief and former cricket captain Imran Khan, who never misses an opportunity to criticize the Sharif government," said a close aide of Sharif, requesting not to be named.

Bridging the trust deficit with India has been one of Sharif's top priorities since he came to power last year. However, domestic compulsions limit his role from taking any drastic step. Observers believe Sharif has to wait and watch Modi's policy towards Pakistan before considering a visit to Delhi. "He would certainly respond positively to any good gesture from his Indian counterpart," said Fasihur Rehman Khan, a Pakistani analyst.

In Pakistan, there is deep concern that former Indian PM Manmohan Singh could not reciprocate official and private visits of Pakistani presidents and prime ministers to India despite repeated invitations.

Ex-Pakistani presidents Pervez Musharraf and Asif Zardari and ex-prime ministers Yousaf Raza Gilani and Raja Pervez Ashraf had made visits to India during their terms in office. Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the last Indian PM to visit Pakistan. Sharif's visit to Delhi in the current situation, according to political pundits, would not be less than a political suicide, sources said.

With the completion of US draw-down from Afghanistan by the end of this year and the expected new government under the leadership of ex-foreign minister Dr Abdullah Abdullah in Kabul, many Pakistani politicians hope the new Indian PM would pragmatically consider regional politics.
