India discussed all the burning issues: SM Krishna
India on Friday rejected Pakistan's contention that it was not prepared to discuss all issues. India's foreign affairs minister SM Krishna asserted that all core and burning problems were deliberated upon with the aim of reducing trust deficit. He was talking to reporters at New Delhi air port after returning from Pakistan.
Mr. Krishna rebuffed his Pakistan counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi for comparing Home Secretary GK Pillai with JuD chief and terror master mind Hafiz Saeed. In response to questions posed to him about Mr. Qureshi's comparison of India's home secretary GK Pillai's remarks with Saeed's anti-India speeches, Mr. Krishna said that there was absolutely no comparison between the two.
The Minister said that what Mr. Pillai had said was based on the information made available to India by the 26/11 Mumbai terror master mind David Coleman Hadley. Mr. Krishna clarified that India had got direct access to Pakistan born US national terror mastermind Hadley who is in a US prison.
Mr. Krishna said, Hafiz Saeed is a person who has been speaking out of turn against India and crying for jihad against India. He asserted that he has made it very clear to the Pakistan leadership that such people in Pakistan who incite hostile and anti-India propaganda will not smoothen relationship.
