No place for third party in Indo- Pak relations :MEA

New Delhi, Oct 15 (ANI): MEA Spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said issues between New Delhi and Islamabad would be resolved through dialogue and there was no place for third party after Pakistan had sought United Nations intervention in the wake of border shelling in disputed Kashmir region. Akbaruddin added that India would not tolerate violence at the de-facto border dividing two nuclear armed neighbours. Further, he said that it seemed that Pakistan was not interested in a serious dialogue. Since the beginning of October, Pakistan and India have been firing mortars and machine-guns across the border, leading to the highest death toll in a decade among civilians on both sides.
