India says, it has no role in insurgency in Pakistan's Balochistan province, saying it does not follow the policy of destabilising its neighbours. Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor said in New York that there is a great difference to the Indian approach to neighbourhood policy and the approach of certain other countries instrumental in sending terrorist to Indian soil. Negating Pakistan's recent accusations about India's support to separatists in Balochistan, he underlined that no such evidence has been provided by Pakistan. Stressing the need for healthy neighbourly relations, Mr Tharoor said New Delhi had no intention or interest in undermining Islamabad's authority in its backyard and India's past actions supported this. On the issue of Taliban in Afghanistan, he said, India had no problems with persons from the militant group who would lay down their weapons and participate in democratic reconstruction.
