Congress, BJP lash out at Miliband over Kashmir

Setting aside their political differences, the ruling Congress and the chief opposition BJP lashed out at British Foreign Secretary David Miliband for his remarks linking terrorism with the Kashmir issue.

While the Congress termed it Britain's "double standards", the BJP described Miliband's visit to India as a "diplomatic disaster" and his remarks "pro-Pakistan".

The BJP also questioned the government's "political will to fight terrorism" and demanded an all-party meeting on the issue.

Congress spokes-person Abhishek Manu Singhvi said Britain should not adopt double standards. "Miliband should not have linked the Mumbai terror attacks with the Kashmir issue. Did the British link the London terror attacks with Iraq," he asked.
