Modi, who accepted Sharif's invitation to visit Pakistan

, told Pakistani media that Kashmir should have been mentioned in the joint communique.
"It is quite strange that Kashmir has not been part of the statement," he said.
Senator Sehar Kamran, who heads Centre for Pakistan and Gulf Studies (CPGS) think-tank also criticised the joint statement.
"The statement, only mentions the Mumbai case trial, but fails to highlight the lingering Kashmir dispute which is a lost opportunity to illustrate the destabilising role of India in the region.
In the Joint Statement, India and Pakistan also decided to release fishermen in each other's custody, along with their boats, within a period of 15 days, addressing one of the major humanitarian issues between them.

According to the latest list exchanged by the two sides, there were 355 Indian fishermen languishing in Pakistani jails and 27 Pakistani fishermen lodged in Indian jails.
The two sides also decided to have a mechanism for facilitating religious tourism.
