Please try to undestand that Pakistani election is also crucial for India; in fact it is crucial for the entire region. For the first time in history none of the major political parties has said anything against India, which was always a regular feature in each election in Pakistan. Prior to election, in one occassion, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto declared thousand years of war against India and on another occasion, Zia Ul Haq called for thousand cuts on India to kill it by bleeding. On the contrary they have said friendship with India is a must for Pakistan's prosperity. None of the three major parties is likely to be able to form government on their own. It is expected that they will join hands to corner Musharaff. Off course Musharaff will try his best to rig the election. If that happens PPP has warned that they might decide to break up Pakistan with their strong support base in Sindh. So it is a very very critical phase not only for Pakistan but for the entire region. It is a moment of truth for Pakistan and is likely to have a profound effect on India. Terrorism may go up or go down. Economy of both the countries may get a boost. In turn it is likely to have effect on the economies of all the SARC countries. So the election in Pakistan is of vital importance to us as well. Wait for tomorrow and you will be astonished to see the coverage in the major news papers of India on this election.
