    Shah jee do you read news paper. India has flatly said that they will not demitarise Siachen glacier. Keep dreaming that india will resolve issuez with IRP but do not think your countrymen are retard.

    indias only motive is to sell their substandard products to IRP and you will never be able to move them 1inch from thier position. Meanwhile do not forgef to stock your refregirator with poof quality indian product.
