Leading Pakistani newspapers Friday blamed India for the deadlock in the first major bilateral engagement since the Mumbai terror attack.
But the accusatory tone varied among newspapers, with The Dawn accusing New Delhi of intransigence and saying that the Indian side led by External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna was inflexible.
The Nation said that India would continue to use such bilateral interactions with Pakistan 'to undermine the gains made in the composite dialogue' that started in 2004 and was suspended after the 2008 Mumbai attack.
Krishna and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi ended almost seven hours of talks here Thursday with no common ground but reiterating their known positions on thorny issues such as Jammu and Kashmir.
'The Pakistan-India trust building dialogue ended in a deadlock as the two sides failed to come up with a clear road map for sustainable engagement or a consensus on confidence-building measures,' the Dawn said in its main story on the front page.
