The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday said that Pakistan's decision to submit a dossier on India to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is an indication of its frustration.

"Pakistan has been caught on the wrong foot, in the sense that it has been exposed to the international community. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has rightly replied to Pakistan that before talking you should shun terrorism," BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told ANI.

"Today, Pakistan should be reminded of the fact that as per the Shimla accord and the Lahore Declaration, only bilateral talks can take place, there is no place for a third stakeholder," he added.

That Pakistan, despite knowing all this, is still calling for a third stakeholder shows that it is frustrated, Patra said.

Pakistan has submitted 'dossiers' of alleged Indian support for terrorism in Balochistan and Karachi and the Pakistani Taliban to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
