Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz will meet India’s External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on the margins of the Asia-Europe Meeting, says External Affairs Ministry spokesperson. The Asia-Europe meeting is scheduled to take place on Nov 11-12.

India would reiterate its demand for peace on the Line of Control and the international border for moving ahead with the dialogue process, Times of India quoted Akbaruddin as telling reporters on Saturday.

He said the two officials would “take up the outcome of the last meeting – that for India and Pakistan to engage it is important, as a precondition that there should be peace and tranquillity on the Line of Control.”

Aziz has also sought a meeting with the prime minister during the visit, the spokesperson said.

Aziz also wishes to meet some leaders of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) in Delhi. Sources in the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) told IANS in Srinagar that JKLF chief Muhammad Yasin Malik has received an invitation to meet Aziz when the latter arrives in New Delhi on Nov 10.

@Voice of Pakistan: Stop “Drowning Pakistan Every year” by Opening flood gates of all dams at once ! Stop Diverting Pakistani rivers Rivers !

Wait wait wait,are u by chance Zaid Hamid because I thought he was the only guy who thought India was responsible for your flooding...So we havemore than one idiot in Pakistan.....

Besides your statements are self contradictory...Had we diverted the water as u claim,you would not have flooding..So u can choose only one of the accusation you made....

Regarding others,even a third person who is not concerned with India would find it silly...We find it LMFAO
