People living in glass houses should not be throwing stones at others, the Indian envoy in Pakistan has said as he described Kashmir as an internal matter of India.

Answering questions on the Kashmir issue and the recent statement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Balochistan, the Indian high commissioner in Pakistan Gautam Bambawale said there are problems in both India and Pakistan.

He said people living in glass houses should not be throwing stones at others.

Calling Kashmir an internal matter of India, he said, "There are problems in both India and Pakistan and you [Pakistan] should focus on resolving your problems before looking into the problems of other countries."

About the statement made by Modi, the envoy said, "The PM, in his August 15 independence day speech, only referred to the letters he had received."
