Sartaj meeting with Hurriyat leaders can deter talks: India

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
NEW DELHI (Online) - India Tuesday expressed strong disapproval of 
the meeting between Pakistani prime minister s foreign affairs advisor 
Sartaj Aziz with Hurriyat leaders, saying it would be 
"counter-productive" towards meaningful dialogue between the two 
countries.<br />

External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid told media persons here 
that India has "done a great deal" to build public opinion in favour of a
 dialogue with Pakistan, and such actions by Pakistan are not 
encouraging but counter-productive.<br />

"If there is a desire for a meaningful dialogue, conducive circumstances have to be created," Khurshid was quoted as saying.<br />

"It would be necessary for Pakistan to keep in mind India s point of 
view, sentiments and sensitivities" for a result-oriented dialogue, he 
said.<br />

However, Salaman said that Pakistan and India had agreed to defuse LoC tensions.<br />

India says it has also raised the issue of Mumbai attacks with Sartaj Aziz.<br />

Delhi takes Pakistan PM Nawaz at his words: Indian FM

SYDNEY:
 Indian External Affairs Minister, Salman Khurshid said that he believes
 Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif wanted to make peace and 
establish good ties with India, but for that he would have to demolish 
the infrastructure of terrorism, Geo News reported.<br />
<br />
<b>  </b><br />
In an 
interview to an Australian newspaper, Salman Khurshid said, “We talk to 
Pakistan periodically and in terms of personal gestures we receive great
 warmth,” he said. “But on-the-ground reality and the results of our 
meetings are very disappointing.”<br />
However, with Pakistani Prime 
Minister Nawaz Sharif last month vowing to go the “extra mile” to make 
peace with India, Khurshid said Delhi would take him at his word.<br />
“Pakistan
 has a lot of very, very difficult issues to deal with at home,” he was 
quoted as saying. “Our view is that we should give them time, not at our
 cost, of course, but that we should give them the benefit of the doubt.
 When Mr. Nawaz Sharif says he wants peace and good relations with 
India, we take him at his word.”<br />
Khurshid was also optimistic 
about future relations with fellow Asian power China, with Delhi viewing
 Beijing as “rivals who are also partners.”  But Khurshid said a 
festering Himalayan border dispute between the two giant neighbours 
remained a key area of concern.<br />
