India supports Iran pipeline: Delhi to join Turkmenistan plan: Jadoon
By Jawed Naqvi
NEW DELHI, Feb 17: Petroleum ministers of Pakistan and India gave their unequivocal support on Friday to the proposed gas pipeline from Iran, saying neither fears about trouble in Balochistan nor the raising of international finances for the project were an issue.
Officials asserted after Fridayââ¬â¢s talks between Petroleum Minister Amanullah Khan Jadoon and his Indian counterpart Murli Deora that political fears emanating from the US opposition to the pipeline appeared to have been exaggerated.
The view was bolstered by support for the project conveyed to Mr Jadoon by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who took time out from parliament for the meeting.
