It is good that Pakistan has come clean on this. Even though, to be fair, Pakistan offically never claimed to have handed the dossier, but stories about this mythical dossier had been doing the rounds of Pakistani press !!! Time to put such speculations to rest.
No dossier on Balochistan handed to Indian PM: Pak
STAFF WRITER 17:23 HRS IST
New Delhi, Sept 11 (PTI) Pakistan has stated for the first time since the Singh-Gilani meeting in Egypt in July that it has not handed over a dossier on Balochistan to the Indian Prime Minister.
“No, we didn’t. Actually, we flagged the issue on Balochistan. We asked for a positive attitude and asked for non-interference inside Balochistan,” Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said in an interview to Outlook magazine.
He was asked about claims in the Pakistani media that such a dossier was handed over to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the meeting with Yousuf Raza Gilani at Sharm-el Sheikh on the sidelines of the NAM Summit.
Balochistan’s reference in the joint statement issued after the meeting had evoked sharp reactions here. Pakistan has been accusing India of fomenting trouble in Balochistan, a charge it refutes.
