Brussels on Monday Sehgal, Chairman of the international security company Pathfinder G4S, listed a number of developments to support his argument.

He noted the recent visit of Pakistaini foreign minister to India, the visit of a Pakistani trade delegation to India, India’s reaction not to blame Pakistan for the bomb blast outside a court in Delhi and lifting of India’s veto in the World Trade Organisation against an European Union duty-free programme for Pakistani products .

Sehgal who is also a member of the EWI Board of Directors rejected the suggestion that the Pakistani government was behind the assassination last month of former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani.

He also blamed Afghan President Hamid Karzai of trying to spoil ties between India and Pakistan and claimed that Karzai has "no standing in Afghansitan."
