Pakistan once again made a bid to derail the NSA-level talks with India, scheduled for Sunday, by accusing the latter of not willing to discuss the most important issue of Kashmir. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Pakistan NSA Sartaj Aziz claimed that Kashmir was part of the joint statement between the two countries in Ufa.
Even as he proposed a new date for the meeting with NSA Ajit Doval, Aziz asserted that he was still willing to go to New Delhi for the NSA-level talks.
Blaming India’s attitude for the ongoing tussle over his meeting with separatists, Aziz said that New Delhi had been refusing to recognise Kashmir as the most important issue since Prime Minister Narendra Modi coming into power.
"Pakistan wants to discuss modalities of Kashmir issues, it is a complex issue...We never expected any breakthrough in the meeting, but current issues could be resolved," said Aziz.
He further said that Pakistan was worried about the arrest and detention of separatist leaders ahead of NSA-level talks.
