Kumar, who had toured Pakistan last year and spent some time with Sharif during his visit, said "Sharif had shared with me good memories about (Atal Bihari) Vajpayeeji taking a bus trip to Pakistan."
"He (Sharif) said things were moving in the right direction for betterment of relationship between India and Pakistan before Kargil marred it."
Kumar also praised cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan's party Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf for its remarkable performance.
