A day after Pakistan reiterated the Kashmir issue, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday asserted that India would give a befitting reply to the neighbouring country in case of ceasefire violation.
The Home Minister also reportedly said that "Kashmir is not a disputed area", and in fact "an integral part of India".
This comes a day after Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s advisor Sartaj Aziz said that no dialogue with India was possible without discussion on the Kashmir issue.
"No discussion will take place with India if Kashmir will not be discussed. We will stay firm on all our primary issue," Aziz had said.
He also said that Pakistan needs more evidence from India to expedite 2008 Mumbai attacks trial.
On July 10, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had met his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of SCO Summit in Ufa, Russia, where the two leaders "exchanged views on issues of bilateral and regional interest".
Addressing a joint press conference following the meeting, the foreign secretaries of both the countries had said that India and Pakistan were ready to "discuss all outstanding issues".
They also said that a meeting between National Security Advisors of both the countries would be held in New Delhi to discuss all issues connected to terrorism.
