ISLAMABAD: The issue of alleged Indian involvement in Balochistan once again echoed in the discussions between the foreign ministers of both the countries on Thursday with Indian clearly demanding of Islamabad of providing evidence of its involvement in the gas-rich province.

In a  joint press briefing Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and his Indian counterpart SM Krishna confessed to have discussed Balochistan during their negotiations.

Indian Foreign Minister Krishna said the issue of Balochistan had been mentioned in the Sharmel Sheikh declaration, but “we have not yet received any evidence from Pakistan in this regard”. “We have been waiting for some evidence being provided by Pakistan of Indian involvement (in Balochistan). If credible evidence or any evidence is provided to us about Indian involvement, it will certainly be looked into,” he maintained.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Qureshi said that during the meeting, he had also mentioned reports that Brahamdagh Bugti had obtained an Indian passport, and had been assured by Krishna that the Indian government would cancel any such passport if it exists.
