With Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh scheduled to visit Pakistan next week for the SAARC meeting, the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Friday said dialogue with Islamabad will yield no results.

On Wednesday, former Pakistan Ambassador to US Husain Haqqani had warned his country that its “obsession” to match India in military strength and efforts to equalise the field with “crazies” like Hafiz Saeed, would only create hatred which will bite it back.

Global rights bodies are acting as a silent spectator, he added. “Our children look at Kashmir only on the maps but Pakistan has captured it. When a cowardly nation captures a part of a great nation, we can’t just sit silently”, Ramdev said.
He appealed to Islamabad to use its influence at the worldwide level and help resolve the Kashmir dispute.
