Pakistan receives India’s proposal for NSA meeting on Aug 23-24, confirms

New Delhi has proposed August 23 and 24 as possible dates for the crucial meeting between Pakistan and India’s national security advisers, Prime Minister’s Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz confirmed on Sunday.

Aziz said Kashmir was the central issue with India and Pakistan believes that it should be solved according to UN resolutions.

The government is awaiting Islamabad’s response before making an official announcement about the talks which the two countries decided to have when PM Narendra Modi met his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif last month in Ufa, Russia, on the sidelines of the SCO summit.

This past week, New Delhi said it had proof that Pakistani nationals were involved in the Gurdaspur attack.

The advisor stated that Pakistan will take up the issue of RAW’s actions in Pakistan with the United Nations and different worldwide boards because it has already executed with numerous overseas leaders in the previous.

Pakistan would flag its concerns about alleged Indian involvement in fomenting terrorism in Karachi, Balochistan and tribal areas, the report added. There has been no let up in India’s tirade against Pakistan even though Islamabad vehemently rejected New Delhi’s allegations over the recent Gurduspur incident.

The recent ceasefire violations and July 27 terror attack in India’s Punjab had cast a shadow on the meeting, but the Indian government sources said that the two sides were inclined to take forward the peace process, which includes the adviser-level talks that were agreed at the meeting of the two prime ministers at Ufa in July. He made the remarks while responding to questions in the Pakistan National Assembly today. “I think the prime minister is certainly going to use the forum of the UNGA to highlight RAW’s activities in the country”, he had said.
