Karachi, August 23. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan, today, blamed the Indian Premier, Pandit Nehru for the failure of the Kashmir talks.

He said "India put forward demands which were not only unreasonable, but contrary to the agreed solution given by the UN Security Council".
Of India's alternative propoŝal i for partial partition and a limited plébiscito, Liaquat Ali
