Regarding the discussion on minorities, he further said, "We have told them that if they have any doubts regarding minorities, they can come to our country and observe the situation on the ground."

The Foreign Secretary also said, we discussed border killings with the Indian Foreign Secretary. We said, killings on the border are not desirable and such killings are not consistent with the friendly relations between the two countries. Md. Jasim Uddin said, we have always said that border killings should be reduced to zero. From their side, they said, various types of crimes are committed on the border. There is a connection between these crimes and killings.
