ISLAMAABD (92 News) – The National Security Adviser Sartaj Aziz has said that he is still ready for national security adviser level talks with India scheduled for Monday without any preconditions. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Saturday, Advisor on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz totally rejected Indian alibi that Pakistan is trying to distort the agenda of talks agreed at Ufa. He made it clear that the three-point agenda proposed by Pakistan is fully in line with the Ufa statement. Sartaj Aziz rejected the Indian assertion that Pakistan has imposed new conditions for the talks. He said in fact it is India which has introduced a new condition through its advice that Pakistan should not meet Hurriyat leaders. He said that Kashmir issue was discussed during Ufa meeting between Pakistani and Indian prime ministers but India is not serious regarding the issues discussed in Ufa meeting. “International community should take notice in this regard,” he said. The adviser said that he is waiting for the Sushma Swaraj’s press conference, adding that the situation will be clear after their stance. He said that the United Nation has also passed resolutions on Kashmir dispute, adding that Pakistan’s policy on Kashmir dispute will be same, even if India doesn’t want to hold talks. During the press conference, the adviser displayed documental proof regarding Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) involvement in Pakistan’s internal affairs. On the occasion, Foreign Secretary said that India has violated ceasefire agreement along the Line of Control (LoC) for at least 100 times during the last two months.
