NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will defend his joint statement with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in parliament next week as reports on Saturday claimed he had won the backing of the ruling Congress Party after initial disagreements over the reference to Balochistan in the July 16 document.
The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and some experts have slammed the government for ‘conceding’ to Pakistan on the Balochistan issue and have contended that its mention in the joint statement is tantamount to giving credibility to Pakistan’s allegations of Indian interference in that region.
Dr Singh has, however, defended the statement saying it was merely taking cognizance of what Pakistan said at the Egypt talks and stressed that India was ready to discuss the issue as it has nothing to hide.
The issue has been discussed with Congress

Dr Singh has, however, defended the statement saying it was merely taking cognizance of what Pakistan said at the Egypt talks and stressed that India was ready to discuss the issue as it has nothing to hide.
The issue has been discussed with Congress MPs and some reports suggested on Saturday that foreign ministry officials would assist the party deputies to better understand the nuances of the joint statement.
One option was the line taken by Home Minister P. Chidambaram who has asserted that New Delhi had ‘nothing to do with Pakistan’s internal affairs’.
Replying to a question in a TV interview on the ‘contentious move’ by India to allow a mention of ‘threats to Balochistan’ in the Sharm El Sheikh statement, Mr Chidamabram said: ‘We have nothing to do with Pakistan’s internal problems, why should we get involved?’
Although Pakistan has been accusing India of fomenting trouble in its volatile southwest
province for decades, this is the first time Balochistan has found mention in a joint statement between the two countries.
At a meeting According to the reports, if Pakistan wants to bring up its ‘internal issue’ in bilateral talks and internationalise Balochistan, India does not have any issue with it.
