Engineer Khurram Dastgir Khan, Minister for Defense, said in Senate on Tuesday that India's incumbent government's aggressive and jingoistic attitude was a hurdle in way of taking forward bilateral accords on redressal of trade grievances and customs matters.

During the question hour, speaking on behalf of Minister for Commerce and Textile Pervaiz Malik, he said Pakistan had signed with India accords on Cooperation and Mutual Assistance in Customs Matters and for Redressal of Trade Grievances. However, he maintained the agreements with India existed only on papers, as those could not be implemented and that was due to India's present government's aggressive and jingoistic attitude towards Pakistan.
