BJP opposes Aziz meeting separatists

BJP has come down heavily on the centre for allowing a meeting between Sartaj Aziz, the visiting adviser to Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and Kashmiri separatists in the national capital. BJP president Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that a diplomatic blunder has been committed ‘by allowing Aziz to meet Kashmiri separatists on Indian soil.’ He demanded that the meeting should be cancelled.

‘After making a failed attempt to buy peace with Pakistan at New York (UNGA meeting), the UPA government has now allowed Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s adviser Sartaj Aziz to meet and hold talks with Kashmiri separatist leaders in New Delhi,’ he said in a statement.

Expressing concern over the ‘manner’ in which the UPA government is implementing its ‘Pakistan policy’, the BJP chief said that while New Delhi has been facing a series of cease-fire violations across the LOC ensuing from Islamabad, the government’s response towards such acts of aggression has been ‘submissive’.
