A 'Pak yatra' as 'SAARC yatra'? Empty A 'Pak yatra' as 'SAARC yatra'?

Six months after talks with Pakistan were called off Foreign Secretary Subrahmanyam Jaishankar lands in Islamabad today to kick off a new attempt to engage their government. While Indian officials have taken care to downplay the visit’s significance, calling it a “SAARC yatra not a Pak yatra”, it seems clear that the trip has been made with a special emphasis on Pakistan. The decision to re-engage with Pakistan, through whichever means, signifies two things: one that the decision to cancel talks in July 2014 was only a temporary one for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with the assumption that talks could be restarted at a later point, and two, that engaging Pakistan is the norm, rather than an aberration.

-> What's next, invite Lashkar-e-Taiba to the Prime Minister's Office, hail them as freedom fighters & serve them mutton biryani at state dinner?
