Don't speak against India, Pakistan's Sharif tells his ministers

December 19, 2015 11:17

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has stopped his ministers from giving anti-India statements so that the peace process is not hit, an official said.

A close aide to Sharif said that the ministers and senior officials had been asked not to issue any statement that could damage the peace process.

"There will only be statements that encourage the dialogue process rather than digging out the past. The PM has asked the close aides and cabinet members to promote peace," The Nation quoted an official as saying.
