Islamabad, July 20: Even though the opposition parties in India have accused him of selling out out to Pakistan, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has been hailed as a hero in Pakistan. The Pakistani media and intelligentsia have come out in support of Dr. Singh, saying he is a true leader, who has shown courage to take things forward.
Dr. Singh’s decision to engage in talks with Islamabad, has come in for praise and appreciation, although many believe that the existing Indian government is acting under pressure from the United States.
Pakistani leaders praised Dr. Manmohan Singh, terming him as a leader, who dares to take risks. Dr. Singh is a much more confident leader today, they believe. The senior journalists in Pakistan believe that Pakistan would gain more from better relations with India, as it needs to beat terrorism to survive in the world.
