The meeting came at a time when the two neighbouring nations were going through turbulent times raising eyebrows that it could be a sign of a possible meeting between Nawaz and Modi.

Jha also strongly criticized Indian policy in held Kashmir. “Indian will never be able to control Kashmiris even if it deploys 70 lac soldiers in the valley. I see no option of dialogue in Kashmir. India should accept nationalism but unfortunately PM Modi is much involved in his ego,” he said.
