The Kashmir issue cannot be whisked away from the dialogue between New Delhi and Islamabad, Pakistani Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry said on Saturday.
Commenting on the stalled dialogue between India and Pakistan, Chaudhary said: "Whenever there will be talks between Pakistan and India, Kashmir will remain on top of the agenda."
The arrest of alleged Indian spy Kulbushan Yadav from Balochistan has verified India's involvement in Pakistan's internal affairs, Dawn online quoted Chaudhary as saying.
He said there was a trust deficit between Pakistan and India which needs to be removed for better ties between the two nations.
