Proficient in the art of false claims and living in denial, Pakistan once took another U-turn as it claimed that it has not handed any dossier over Baloch insurgency to India.

"No, we didn't. Actually, we flagged the issue on Baluchistan. We asked for a positive attitude and asked for non-interference inside Baluchistan," said Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in a interview to the Outlook magazine.

This certainly came-in as hullabaloo-what-is-this? As previously, Islamabad and its policy-makers vehemently had claimed that it had handed over a dossier to India detailing the latter's role in Baloch insurgency, while New Delhi outright had rejected the accusation.

Following which the ruling UPA came under heavy gunfire as its opposition criticized them for allowing some damaging concessions to the neighbour country, while the PM himself had to clarify the government's stand in parliament and he said that no such dossier were given by Pakistan during the meeting in Egypt.

"No dossier on Balochistan has been handed over to me," Singh said during his speech in the monsoon session of the Lok Sabha.

The Pakistani media too has been claiming that the Boloch dossier had been handed to India as the Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani himself had mentioned the dossier presence.
