Pakistan High Commissioner to India Shahid Malik today asserted that his country had not made any U-turn on granting the Most Favoured Nation MFN status to India.
The process of normalisation is already underway and the grant of MFN status is part of that normalisation process. There is no question of U-turn about it, Malik told reporters after meeting Union Home Minister P Chidambaram here.
He also disclosed that Pakistan Commerce Secretary Zafar Mahmood would visit India later this month as part of the ongoing discussion and dialogue,and would be taking the process forward.
Maliks statement comes after Pakistan sent several confusing messages over its decision on MFN. India is yet to receive any official intimation on the same.
On the issue of Pakistan sending a judicial commission to India to talk to key witnesses and officials involved in the 26/11 attacks investigation,Malik said he had informed Chidambaram that the panel would be coming at the earliest.
Pakistan has repeatedly failed to convey to India as to when its judicial commission will visit for the statement of the magistrate who recorded the confession of accused Ajmal Kasab.
