Kasuri's statement unfortunate: Sinha

Hazaribagh Oct. 26. India today termed as "unfortunate" the reported remarks of the Pakistan Foreign Minister, Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri, that New Delhi's proposals for new bus services and resumption of cricket ties were a ploy to avoid a dialogue with Islamabad on the Kashmir issue.

Speaking to reporters here, the External Affairs Minister, Yashwant Sinha said:

"Kasuri's statement is not in consonance with the gesture shown by India in normalising relations and easing tension between the two countries.

"Instead of appreciating India's peace proposals, Pakistan is unnecessarily insisting on resumption of dialogue. Kasuri's statement in Islamabad yesterday is unfortunate."
