Not for confederation, says Shaukat Aziz

Abdul Kalam's remarks that India and Pakistan could become a confederation in 50 years. ``This may be their way of thinking,'' Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz told reporters here while reacting to Mr. Kalam's observation made during his trip to Singapore two days ago.
