Interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said on Sunday that there were no conflicts between army and the government, Express News reported.

Talking about Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New York, Nisar said that Pakistan is in favour of peace.

"India should pay attention to its own problems," he said, asserting that any accusations levied against Pakistan Army were baseless.


He said that Pakistan wants to have good relations with India.

However, he added that, "if India doesn't find anything else to complain about, it starts levying accusations against Pakistan Army."

Singh and Sharif met for more than an hour on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, amid heightened tension between the nuclear-armed neighbors over Kashmir, sparked by series of fatal clashes on their de facto Himalayan border. They both expressed a desire to improve ties but agreed that "peace and tranquility across the LOC (Line of Control) is a precondition," Indian national security adviser Shivshankar Menon told reporters in New York.
