A month later, the discussions moved beyond terrorism to cover other issues as well, Sinha contended.

'In Yekaterinburg, the prime minister was confident and assertive and we were proud of him. But there was a complete turnaround in the stated position in less than a month,' Sinha said, describing the November 2008 Mumbai carnage as 'an attack of Pakistan on India'.

Sinha also attacked the government for including a reference to Balochistan in the joint statement that has emboldened Pakistani leaders to accuse India of involvement in fomenting insurgency in the region.

'Why was Balochistan included in a bilateral document? No sooner was the ink dry on the joint statement, Pakistani leaders were accusing India of supporting insurgency in Balochistan?' he said.

'All the waters of seven seas will not wash the shame at Sharm-el-Sheikh,' Sinha said amid applause from opposition benches.

This elicited a quick intervention from Manmohan Singh. The prime minister told parliament that Pakistan did not give any dossier to India on Balochistan when he met Gilani in Egypt, as was reported by a section of the media in Pakistan.

'No such dossier was given,' Manmohan Singh said.
