Comments against Pillai were 'balanced and objective': Qureshi
“
Mr Pillai's statement was, doubtless, uncalled for and off the mark
"Mr Pillai's statement was, doubtless, uncalled for and off the mark," the Pakistani Minister said in an email interview while referring to the Indian official's remarks that ISI was "controlling and coordinating" the Mumbai attacks from the beginning till the end
Though Krishna did not react to this comparison of Pillai with Saeed at that moment, he termed it as "ridiculous" after his return to India
Qureshi was also slammed by the political parties, including BJP and Congress
Qureshi's reaction was also sought on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's remarks that his handling of the press conference had detracted attention from the achievements of the talks and that it was avoidable
"There is no justification for government officials to make unhelpful public remarks on the eve of the Foreign Ministers' meeting," he said
