In April this year, as India was preparing for the elections, Imran had expressed his wish to see the BJP-led government return back to power as it would be in a better position to hold dialogue with Pakistan.
“Perhaps if the BJP— a right-wing party — wins, some kind of settlement in Kashmir could be reached,” he had tweeted.
He had also said that a Congress-led coalition government could hesitate to take any major decision on the Kashmir issue out of the fear for the opposition BJP.
