Lahore, July 12(ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani has said he disbelieves a recent statement attributed to his Indian counterpart, Dr. Manmohan Singh, that Pakistan should forget about the Kashmir dispute.
"I think his statement has been distorted and reported out of context," The Nation quoted Gilani, as telling Waqt TV in an interview.
The prime minister said he had held several meetings with Dr. Singh, and that this is the first time that he has admitted that disengaging with Pakistan after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks was a great mistake.
The Indian premier had also stated that he was willing to resolve all outstanding issues through talks, he added.
Gilani noted that senior officials of the two countries had already held talks and a meeting of the foreign ministers was also due soon.
"There's headway in the talks. And at a time when the negotiations are going on, what has been attributed to Mr Singh is beyond comprehension," said Gilani. (ANI)
