BANGALORE: India’s External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said on Sunday that developments in Pakistan were of ‘deep concern’ from the point of stability in South Asia.

“Peace prevailing in Pakistan brings some kind of stability in South Asia,” he told reporters at the taluka headquarters town of Sira in Tumkur district of Karnataka. “In that background, the current situation is a matter of deep concern.”

But Mr Krishna expressed the confidence that things would get back to normal, saying the Pakistani government was working towards that end.—Dawn/The Times of India News Service
