The attendance of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to
accept the Indian PM designate Mr Modi to attend his oath taking ceremony would be
the first of its kind since both countries obtained independence form the
British in 1947.
The two nuclear-armed
rivals have fought three wars in the past 60 years.
The visit is being viewed
with interest as Mr Modi is seen as a hardliner on national security issues and
his BJP party advocates a tough stance on Pakistan. Even Mr Modi has
made very provocative statements against Pakistan in the past.
It may be added that
outgoing Indian PM Mr Singh was invited to Mr Sharif's inauguration last year
but did not attend.
