Spokesperson of the ministry, Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry said Pakistan is keen to resolve the issue and will hold talks related to the matter.
The Lahore bound bus, Dosti bus, which was on its way from New Delhi was stopped by protesters in Amritsar, and later arrived safely at its destination in Pakistan on Friday.
Protesters in New Delhi took to the streets to voice their anger over the murder of five Indian troops in an ambush near the Line of Control on Monday. The protesters blamed the attack on Pakistan, which has categorically denied any part in the incident and rejected the allegations at all levels.
Ultimately, Indian security forces arrived to clear the area and let the vehicle on its way.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called an emergency meeting with foreign ministry officials on Thursday, stressing that it is ‘imperative for both India and Pakistan to take effective steps to ensure and restore the ceasefire across the Line of Control’.
Expressing sadness after being briefed by the ministry officials over the recent exchange of fire across the LoC, the prime minister noted that the recent incidents have both set back the normalisation process between Pakistan and India and led to the loss of precious human lives.

What is the purpose, other than smuggling more terrorists to India?
Stop the damn bus and close the border and have Drones patrol the entire border with Pakistan.
But unfortunately all in vain because India shall never show any positivity on the this issue you are going to raise before Indian leadership and as usual India shall declare Pakistan resposible of friendship bus' issue......
will india accept?
What's the entire fuss about? Buses, Trains even Aeroplanes get regularly stopped in India over some of the most trivial matters.
Dosti bus India - China acceptable.we strongly rejects dosti bus india-pakistan.no no no no no.
but big question is will india accept your request??? if yes then why?
What are you going to talk to india about? the government obviously gave adequate protection to the travelers. Their people have a right to protest. so get over it.
Pakistan is successor state to the ideology of
Muhammad Bin Qasim, Mahmud of Ghazni, 'Muhammad of Ghori Timur-e-lang Babur Aurangzeb Ahmed Shah Abdali Nadir Shah
They are the heroes of Pakistan and Pakistan has moulded itself after them. How can there be ever any peace between India and Pakistan when the only thing common to all the people listed above is that they attacked India in general and HIndus in particular ? Stop the Dosti bus and end the farce.
The government of Pakistan must forbid the citizens from visiting India. Nobody knows what Indian citizens would do unto them. After Samjhota Express blasts, I hope no tragedy occurs to Pakistanis there!
What can Pakistan do? The Indians always use relations with Pakistan to up the domestic political agendas. I remember when the bubonic plague hit surat in Gujrat the Indian press claimed that the Indian rats were infested by the ISI. In the new of Zee they showed a Pakistani waiter from the Holiday Inn claiming that he was a wanted man in India. Anything goes and it is nearly impossible when dealing with a combination of hysteria and misinformation. Pakistan should just ignore it.
The talks won't last for long. Next year Congress won't be in power. Most likely will be BJP, then Pakistan can expect full scale retaliation if they dare try to hurt even a single Indian soldier.
Pakistan is digging its own grave .... very very deep ... The process has begun ...
I thought that the Spokesman Mr Aizaz has become non Spokesman after his earlier utterances re the non Paper over non objection of US over the IP Pipeline. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ What is he doing now ?
With this apologetic attitude from our govt anybody would do what India is doing.
