Cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan today said even though
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will try to improve ties with India, he would not be able to go "fast" on the issue due to pressure from fanatical elements.
In an interactive session, he said the future of India and Pakistan should be like that of the European Union, with people being allowed to move freely. He expressed hope that when his party comes to power, people would be allowed to drive down from Delhi to Lahore without any barriers.
"You will find that even though our current Prime Minister will try but he would not be able to go fast towards building relations with India because of the pressure from this small fanatical group," he said.
Khan observed that the level of fanaticism in Pakistan is at its peak at the moment but "in the next six months, my optimism is that after the exit of the US from Afghanistan, this frenzy of fanaticism in Pakistan will start subsiding". "
Once that happens, then we can move towards concentrating on normalising our relations. Right now, due to the pressure of the extreme right...," he said.
The interactive session was organised by the All India Management Association.
The head of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf party said in order to bring stability to Afghanistan after the US exit from there in 2014, India and Pakistan will have to cooperate and not interfere in the functioning of the government in Kabul.
"If India and Pakistan cooperate after 2014 and decide not to interfere with the government there, it will go a long way in ensuring stability there.
If we start proxy war there, I hate to think what will happen there," he said.

New Delhi, Dec 8: Pakistan's cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan on Saturday said Delhi-Islamabad ties should be like that of European Union in future, with people being allowed to move freely across the borders.The politician, who is the head of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf party, was talking at an event organised by All India Management Association.
He expressed hope that once his party comes to power in Pakistan, people will be able to drive down to Delhi from Lahore without any barriers.
"Fanaticism in Pakistan is at its peak now"
Nawaz Sharif is not able to 'go fast' on improving ties with India because of the pressure from fanatical elements. Fanaticism in Pakistan is at its peak now, Khan observed. But once US troops exit from Afghanistan, the power of fanatics in Pak will wane, he said. In order to bring stability to Afghanistan after the US exit from there in 2014,
India and Pakistan will have to cooperate and not interfere in the functioning of the government in Kabul, Imran Khan said.
He brushed aside rumours that ties between India and Pakistan would wane if BJP comes to power post-2014. "Who comes to power is not the business of Pakistan, it is for the people of India to decide. All I want is a strong leadership, the ability of taking strong decisions," Khan said.
Pakistani youth want cordial ties with India; so favourable atmosphere for bilateral trust should be restored between the two countries, he said. Once Kashmir issue is resolved through talks, India-Pak will have a cordial relationship, Khan said.

ماضی میں بی جے پی کے وزیراعظم اٹل بہاری واجپائی کی جانب سے مسائل کے حل کے لئے جو اقدامات اٹھائے گئے تھے وہ آج بھی اچھے لفظوں میں یاد کئے جاتے ہیں۔ نیشن رپورٹ کے مطابق عمران خان نے کہا ہے کہ وزیراعظم نوازشریف بھارت کے ساتھ تعلقات بہتر کرنا چاہتے ہیں مگر انتہاپسندوں کے دبائو کی وجہ سے وہ اس کام کو تیزی سے نہیں کر سکیں گے۔ بھارت میں تقریب سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے عمران خان نے کہاکہ پاکستان اور بھارت کا مستقبل یورپی یونین کی طرح ہونا چاہئے جہاں لوگوں کو آمدورفت کی اجازت ہو۔انہوں نے امید ظاہر کی کہ جب ان کی حکومت آئے گی تو وہ دہلی سے لاہور تک بغیر کسی رکاوٹ کے آنے جانے کی اجازت دیں گے۔ انہوں نے کہاکہ اس وقت پاکستان میں مذہبی انتہا پسندی عروج پر ہے مگر میرا خیال ہے کہ 6 ماہ بعد امریکہ کے افغانستان سے انخلا کے بعد اس میں قدرے کمی آ جائے گی۔ انہوں نے اس امید کا اظہار کیا اس وقت پاکستان اور بھارت کے تعلقات میں بہتری کے لئے آگے بڑھا جا سکے گا۔ انہوں نے کہا افغانستان سے امریکی انخلا کے بعد پاکستان اور بھارت افغانستان کے معاملات میں مداخلت نہیں کریں گے اور اس سے تعاون کریں گے۔ انہوں نے کہا وہاں پراکسی وار شروع نہیں ہونی چاہئے۔
