Pakistan Asks India Not to Make 'Baseless' Allegations

Pakistan Tuesday asked India to concentrate on resolving bilateral issues instead of making "baseless" allegations against Islamabad.

At a weekly news briefing, Foreign Office spokesman Masood Khan described a resolution passed by India's ruling Congress Party regarding "cross-border" infiltration in Kashmir as "baseless."

 

He urged India to refrain from making such allegations as both countries have to go a long way to resolve their outstanding issues between them.

 

India's ruling Congress on Saturday said in a resolution, "We seem to be dealing with a neighboring government that has failed or is unable to deliver on its promises" and "cross-border terrorism continues to be a menace as it is aided and abetted from across the border," said a resolution adopted at a Congress meeting.

 

"The Cold War era has been over and now both sides should concentrate on resolving all outstanding issues including Kashmir," said the spokesman.

 

He stressed that political will, wisdom and statesmanship are needed to make "meaningful" the dialogue process, which was initiated early this year by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and the then Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee.

 

The Indian leadership including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, the ruling party leader, have demonstrated good faith and pledged to continue the composite dialogue process, said the spokesman, adding the process is moving forward in the right direction.
