India

Unlike other political parties that have always portrayed India as a national enemy, Ibrat party does not share the sentiment. For us, India is not a pragmatic enemy, but Afghanistan sure is. I believe it's time we shifted our ideological hatred and national enmity from India to Afghanistan.

When in power, mainstream parties hypocritically renege on the pre-election anti-India rhetoric and try to establish relations through diplomatic and third-party channels. However, India under Modi has adopted a "talk to the hand" approach as they see no benefit in establishing relations with Pakistan.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Ibrat Party's policy towards India will be simple. The word India will slowly slip out of the vocabulary of our offices, and no government official will be allowed to issue anti-India or pro-India statements. Anti-Afghanistan subject matter will fill in the void.

We will also systematically try to systematically prune the desire for Indian attention in our masses. The litmus test will be Pakistanis not posting to or responding to Indian comments on a PakvInd cricket match. This is quite a daunting task, but challenge accepted.

The reply from India to Pakistan is usually a variant of "bhikari" or "terrorist". I used to hate this regurgitation initially. But then I realized from my medical training that such repetitive behavior may be a symptom of undiagnosed autism, and autistic children deserve special care, not hatred.
