Why can’t Centre hold talks with Pakistan if they can with China: Mehboob Mufti
Srinagar : Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehboob Mufti on Sunday (November 29, 2020) hit out at Centre and asked why they can't hold talks with Pakistan if they can do with China. "When they can talk with China despite that they are grabbing our land in Ladakh, there should be a dialogue between India and Pakistan," said Mufti. Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister added, "Or is it that Pakistan is a Muslim country, that is why they don't talk to them?"
