India has nothing to do with Balochistan: Chidambaram

By NNN-PTI,

New Delhi : Home Minister P Chidambaram has said India has nothing to do with Balochistan and wondered why it will do anything there when there are enough problems on its border with Pakistan.

He made it clear that Congress will rally behind the government over the Indo-Pak joint statement when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh speaks in Parliament next week.

Singh will spell out in Parliament the “real meaning” of the document and apprise how Balochistan found “its way” in it, Chidambaram told CNN-IBN.

“We are not involved in Balochistan. We have nothing to do with internal problem of Pakistan. In fact, Baloch leader has said that he gets no support from India,” he said.

“Besides, why should we get involved in Balochistan? We have enough problems on our western border with Pakistan,” the Home Minister said.
