After Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyer has batted
for dialogue with Pakistan. Speaking at
a function in Pakistan’s Karachi, the Congress leader sparked a row by saying
that dialogue as a solution to the India- Pakistan issue has been accepted as a
policy by Pakistan, but not by India. ‘There is only one way of resolving
India-Pakistan issues and that is by uninterrupted and un-interruptable
dialogue. And I am very proud and half very sad that this sentence of these
three words have been accepted as Pakistan policy, but has not been accepted as
Indian policy’.
