Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has stopped his ministers from giving anti-India statements so that the peace process is not hit, an official said.
A close aide to Sharif said on Friday that the ministers and senior officials had been asked not to issue any statement that could damage the peace process.
“There will be statements only that encourage the dialogue process rather than digging out the past. The PM has asked the close aides and cabinet members to promote peace,” The Nation quoted an official as saying.
He said Sharif was optimistic about better ties with India, which would benefit the whole region. Sharif was annoyed by statements from India that New Delhi only wanted to discuss Pakistan occupied Kashmir in talks, but understands this is not Inidan government’s policy, the official added.
Sharif, the official said, wanted to give top priority to Kashmir, terrorism and trade when the two sides discuss peace.
