Islamabad: People in Pakistan cannot access the BJP website as the
saffron party has blocked its Internet page though its high-profile Prime
Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's portal can be accessed for those who want
to know about him. "Error 1009 The owner of this website (bjp.org) has banned
your IP address (---) on the country or region you are accessing it from,"
says the page as one logs in from here.
People logging in from Pakistan have to use Virtual Private
Network, masking Pakistani IP address to log into the BJP website.
The party had attached on its Twitter handle links to a 'charge
sheet' it had recently released against the UPA government but the links did
not work for those logging in from Pakistan.Some questioned the logic of blocking the access saying even if
someone fears hacking, hackers don't use their own IP addresses.
Be it the government or local Pakistanis, everyone is eager to
know about the general sentiments and trends as to who will form the next
government.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.Tasnim added that Pakistan strongly believes that "our region
needs peace for economic development, for better life for our people. They
deserve it".
