In 2019, The Print published a report that narrated how Pakistan PM Imran Khan tried to establish contact with PM Modi but failed badly. It has been over two years since the report was published, but things remain more or less the same. And now, Imran Khan is desperate to talk to PM Modi, but it is highly unlikely that he will get the audience he is aiming to get.
Imran Khan’s desperate desire to woo PM Modi
Imran’s acts border on virtual stalking by a jilted lover. Just like an overzealous ex, Imran Khan-
● Wrote letters that went unreplied; and
● Rung PM Modi’s phone with a volley of missed calls
Khan fails to make a mark
But guess what. PM Modi didn’t reciprocate. He ignored Khan’s frantic calls, messages and conversation attempts. So, we come back to the main question what can a desperate Imran do to win over PM Modi?
A fool-proof 13 point plan for Imran Khan
Believe me, there is a lot that Imran can still do to secure that one elusive meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Let me however make one thing clear- there cannot be an unconditional meeting between the two leaders. Imran Khan will have to meet 13 conditions to succeed in his attempts. We are not asking for too much. These are just some Indian demands that he must comply with if he wants to draw PM Modi’s attention.
Let’s go through the foolproof plan-
1. Now, the first demand shouldn’t come as a surprise. Turn Pakistan into a proper democracy with a civilian government. Throw out the non-State actors, terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and also kick the Pakistan Army out of government’s functions.
2. Vacate Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) on an immediate, priority basis and stop interfering in matters concerning the Indian Union Territory.
3. Surrender Balochistan to Balochs. Confine Pakistan to what it should be Pakistan minus Balochistan.
4. Surrender Sindh to Sindhis. Let them exercise their right of self-determination.
5. Deport Hafiz Saeed, Ibrahim Dawood and Maulana Masood Azhar to India. Or in the alternative, cooperate with Indian military forces to eliminate them through counter-terror operations.
6. Stop funding and sponsoring terrorism. Go beyond words and take action. And show what you have done to eliminate terror factories on Pakistani soil.
7. Ensure reconversion of all minorities who were converted through coercion in the last 25 years or so.
8. Press authorities into action, trace those who committed atrocities like rapes, murders, and lynchings against minorities, and make provisions for awarding capital punishment in such cases.
9. Tell China that it can continue with China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), but it shall not use it to harm India’s interests.
10. Since, Hindus and other minorities are forced to live a miserable life, and are being converted forcefully, it is important to give reservation to Hindus and other minorities in Pakistan’s Parliament.
11. Roll out job quotas for Hindus and other minorities in Pakistan, so they can end their misery and elevate their lifestyle. Also, it will enable them to live their lives without any fear.
12. Aim for diversification in sports and announce quotas for minorities.
13. Rebuild all Hindu temples that were destroyed and vandalised with the complicity of the Pakistani State. Don’t worry, India will help you in building the temples.
Yes, PM Modi and #ImranKhan must meet.

And I would also suggest taking back your controversial remarks like talking about a referendum for Kashmir.
In short, start behaving like a civilised leader if you want to win favour with PM Modi. Otherwise, forget the idea of getting an audience from India’s Prime Minister.
Wonder what the author is dreaming about, living in lala land expecting aman ki asha.
A leopard does not change it spot.
The author’s demand is impractical from Islam’s point of view as you rightly pointed out, but is indeed practical from Dharmic (righteous) angle.
Remember Pakistan is not a separate nation but that part of Bharat snatched away by Islam.
