Kashmir,Pak problems not linked: NSA tells Obama

Coming out strongly against attempts to link Kashmir to the turmoil in Pakistan’s tribal areas,National Security Adviser M K Narayanan.

Coming out strongly against attempts to link Kashmir to the turmoil in Pakistan’s tribal areas,National Security Adviser M K Narayanan has said that US President Barack Obama would be “barking up the wrong tree” if he holds such views.

“References made by President Obama did seem to suggest there is some kind of a link between the settlement on Pakistan’s western border and the Kashmir issue. Certainly that had caused concern,” he told Karan Thapar’s India Tonight programme.

He was responding to reported suggestions by Obama during his campaign that Pakistan’s fight against Taliban is linked to resolution of Kashmir issue. “We could make him understand if he does have any such views then he is barking up the wrong tree,” he said.
