◆Sharif, Karzai come with agenda
【New Delhi】Even as India is officially terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s talks with all the visiting South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) leaders and Mauritius as ‘courtesy meetings’, Pakistan and Afghanistan are here with a formal agenda for the dialogues.
 In their more than half an hour meeting, Modi and Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai discussed ways to enhance cooperation in the wake of NATO combat troops withdrawal from the war-torn country.
 Taking a break from his official meetings in New Delhi, visiting Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif toured the old city on Tuesday morning, with a stop at the 17th century Jama Masjid where he said he had come to India to build better ties.
○Will pick up threads of ties from Vajpayee’s rule: Sharif
【New Delhi】Arriving here with a “message of peace”, Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday said that he intends to pick up the threads with India’s new leader Narendra Modi from where he and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee left off in 1999.
 Sharif, who is in the national capital on an overnight stay to attend the swearing-in of Modi as prime minister, arrived here from Lahore where he said he was going to New Delhi with a “message of peace”. Later, speaking here, the Pakistan prime minister said both governments have a strong mandate and this could help in “turning a new page in our relations”.
○If Pak doesn’t behave, Modi will press N-button: Sena
【New Delhi】National Democratic Alliance (NDA) constituent Shiv Sena today said, "If Pakistan does not mend its ways, Modi will have to press the nuclear button."
 In a statement issued here, Sena president Uddhav Thackeray said, "So far only India has taken initiative of forgetting the past and starting afresh. Hence, it is difficult to trust Pakistan. But we trust Modi's leadership and hence we do not want to create hurdles for him. If Pakistan does not mend its ways, Modi will have to press the nuclear button."
 The Shiv Sena’s Anant Geete has got a cabinet berth (Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises) in the newly formed Union Cabinet.
