Positive talks are on with China: Khurshid

Farrukhabad: Positive talks are on with China over the border dispute, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid has said, hoping that desired results would be achieved. "Positive talks are going on over the border dispute with China and we hope that desired results would come from them," Khurshid, who was Farrukhabad in his parliamentary constituency, told reporters on Saturday.

He hoped that the new leadership in China will facilitate bilateral talks. On the fate of Sarabjit Singh, who has been sentenced to death in Pakistan, after the execution of 26/11 Mumbai carnage convict Ajmal Kasab, he said the two cases were totally different.

"Kasab was a terrorist whom Pakistan was not ready to accept as its citizen and also did not claim his body while we have been accepting Sarabjit as our national right from the beginning. Sarabjit is in Pakistani jail for 20 years now and in this way he has already completed the term of life sentence.. We had talked to Pakistan on his death sentence following which it has been put on hold," Khurshid said.
