India has strongly reacted to Pakistan's allegations that India is raising a 197 kilometre-long wall along the Line of Control to prevent infiltration. Pakistan's allegation is that this is similar to Israel building a wall in disputed West Bank.
Spokesperson of Ministry of External Affairs Vikas Swarup said India is aware of two letters that Pakistan has written to the UN. The first letter, which was written by Pakistan on September 4 said that there was no bilateral dialogue between the two nations.
However, India has said that the letter is contradictory since a meeting between the Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistan Rangers took place since then.
“As far as the second letter is concerned, I believe it is based on some kind of submission made by Sayeed Salahuddin, whom we consider to be a global terrorist. We will respond at appropriate time," he added.
So far, the UN has not taken cognisance of the letters. He said there was no fresh letter from Pakistan to the UN.
On a question that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will be raising the issue in his address to the UN, Swarup said, “The first thing is, has any action been taken by the United Nations? If there is an action taken by the UN, we will respond appropriately, and if no action is taken by the UN, it itself tells that nobody has taken the cognisance."
