New Delhi : Former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s deportation on arrival in Islamabad was that country’s internal matter, India said Monday, even as New Delhi wished to have a “stable neighbour”.
“It is an internal problem (of Pakistan), but I would like to have a stable neighbour,” External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters in Parliament House when asked to comment on the events following Sharif’s return to Islamabad Monday morning and his subsequent deportation.
“We want all our neighbours to be stable, peaceful and prosperous,” Mukherjee added.
Sharif returned to Islamabad in dramatic fashion after nearly seven years in exile but was put on a plane to Saudi Arabia after a four-hour standoff that saw him being served an arrest warrant on corruption charges.
