Dude, learn to read. US said they wont want this guy to mediate in the Kashmir problem, an internationally recognized problem. How does that mean the US has trashed Pakistan's hopes, as if Pakistan was relying on them in the first place to solve the problem. Seriously, you guys arent taken seriously anymore because what you post is as meaningless as Lalu Prasad's interviews.
I think India has some very clear views as to what it wants to do vis-à-vis, you know, dealing with the Kashmir issue, as well as the Pakistanis
So if you understand this statement the spokesperson is saying that let India and Pakistan settle the Kashmir isssue ..... as it is India's stated position that it does not want any outside interference in a bilateral dispute !!!!
As for Pakistan's hopes being trashed ......Pakistan has been going around telling everyone that the peace in the region is connected to the settelment of kashmir issue. And the US administration has gone out of its wat to clarify that the envoy appointed is ONLY for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Also today Hillary Clinton made it perfectly clear that the trouble in this REGION is because of the trouble in Afghan - Pak border. Now you can read whatever you want to read into this ......
Maybe you understand Kiyani's interview better then Lalu's ... no fault ... it happens when one has been living in a military regime ....
