What Pakistan wanted - why India said no
Shri Abdul Sattar: Link settlement
of the Kashmir dispute with progress on normalization of bilateral ties.
Shri Jaswant Singh: Goes against
India's stand that relations should not be held hostage to the Kashmir
issue.
Shri Abdul Sattar: Any settlement
should be in keeping with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
Shri Jaswant Singh: It is only
a ploy to bring tripartite dialogue through the back door. No way
can we accept it.
Shri Abdul Sattar: The centrality
of the Kashmir issue must be established in all future talks.
Shri Jaswant Singh: Not unless
Pakistan agrees to give ending cross-border terrorism equal importance
Shri Abdul Sattar: Though the summit
was inconclusive the Agra talks can be the basis of future negations.
Shri Jaswant Singh: Sorry.
What was offered at Agra was a package deal that was either fully in or
out.
