BJP blocks its website access in Pak, its PM candidate's is on

However, asked about Modi, top Pakistan government officials say they are willing to “deal” with whoever forms the government after the Lok Sabha elections and that includes Modi.

Even though the 2002 Gujarat riots loom large here, Pakistan is hopeful that the peace bogey would not be derailed if the UPA government is replaced by Modi-led NDA.  

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has stressed on the need for better ties with all its neighbours, had said his country believes in good relations with India “regardless of whosoever is in power”.

Asked what will be Pakistan's strategy if Modi comes to power, Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said, “I understand India is undergoing elections, a normal election in democracy and we also have seen reports follow that BJP seems to be in a strong position.”

She said the elections are an internal affair of India and it is for Indian people to decide, to exercise their right, to choose and elect a government.  “We deal with countries... So, we hope that whoever is elected in India would have that conviction and consciousness that peace is something that we owe to our people,” she told PTI recently in an interview.
