India and Pakistan yesterday agreed to start a comprehensive bilateral dialogue as Ms Swaraj confirmed that Prime Minister Modi will visit Islamabad next year to attend the SAARC summit.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will make a statement in Parliament on the recent developments in India-Pakistan relations tomorrow, government said in the Lok Sabha today.
Responding to a notice of adjournment motion by Saugata Roy (Trinamool Congress) on the issue, Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said Mr Swaraj will make a statement in the House and the government is also willing for a discussion.
He said usually there is no discussion after a statement but the External Affairs Minister is willing for a debate on the issue.
"Several developments have taken place in between. I spoke with the minister (who was in Islamabad yesterday) and she will make a statement...we are willing for a discussion," he said apparently responding to Mr Roy's notice on the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif in Paris during climate change talks.
