Rajnath Singh asks PM to stop Sartaj Aziz from talking to separatists

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should stop Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Foreign Affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz from talking to separatist leaders, and added that this is against international diplomatic norms

"I feel the Prime Minister should take some actions, and stop Sartaj Aziz from talking to separatists on his own. If the Pakistan Prime Ministers Foreign Affairs Advisor is talking to separatists here, it is against international diplomatic norms. In this regard, the Indian Government should take some quick action," he said.

Separatist leaders are likely to meet Sartaj Aziz today, on the invitation of the Pakistan High Commission here.

Aziz is travelling to India to attend ASEM Foreign Ministers meet on November 11 and November 12.

He would also be meeting External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on the sidelines of the ASEM Foreign Ministers' Meet, where he would discuss the issue of ceasefire violations along the LoC.
