Singh described as "far fetched and far from truth"
Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik's charge that India
was abetting violence in Balochistan and funding Taliban.

"I have said earlier that India had no role in
Balochistan and those who level these charges, the senior
minister in Pakistan, know jolly well that there is no no
truth in it.
"Nothing can be far fetched and far from truth," he
said adding in fact it was India which was a victim of
terrorism aided and abetted from Pakistani soil.
"Both (charges on) Balochistan and Taliban are
totally false," he said.
To a question whether India was satisfied with
Pakistan's steps on Mumbai attacks, he said "obviously we are
not satisfied with action taken by Pakistan. We sincerely
hope that Pakistan government will bring all the perpetrators
of 26/11 attacks to justice."
In his opening statement, he expressed the hope that
his appeal for dialogue with all sections of the people of
Jammu and Kashmir will be reciprocated in the spirit in which
he had made the appeal yesterday.
To a question about Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Farooq
justifying the use of gun, Singh said he did not not want to
ready too much into what was said in anger.
"I hope all those who believe in the good of Jammu
and Kashmir will respond favourably to my appeal for dialogue.
We are willing to engage in discussions with every group and
all those who want abjure violence," he said. (More)PTI AMS
