Is it conceivable that India would cancel first ministerial meeting on such a flimsy grounds relating to meeting with Hurriyat leaders?: Pak NSA Sartaj Aziz.
Three point agenda including exploring modalities for the
talks for all outstanding issues proposed by Pakistan was in keeping with Ufa understanding says Aziz.
It is India which introduced the condition that there
should not be a meeting with Hurriyat leaders which is akin to controling the guest list for Pakistan reception.
On my part I am still prepared to go to New Delhi for
NSA-level talks says Aziz.
I will be carrying three dossiers on India’s RAW activities in Pakistan: Aziz.
If I don’t get opportunity to hand over the dossiers to
Indian NSA in New Delhi, I hope to give it to him in New York next month if he comes with PM Narendra Modi says Aziz.
We are very disturbed about arrest of Hurriyat leaders. It
is violation of their fundamental rights: Aziz,asserts Kashmir is very much part of agenda as agreed in Ufa.
There is no deviation from the agenda agreed in Ufa to be
discussed: says Aziz, adding India is wrong in saying that Kashmir is not part of agenda.
Cancellation is yet not confirmed from either side, so we are ready to go as per schedule without any pre-condition says Aziz.
No serious dilaogue is possible with India unless Kashmir
is included says Aziz.
Don’t expect that there will be a breakthrough in
NSA-level talks but it will help evolve a mechanism to address issues says Aziz.
