India has welcomed Pakistan's positive responses to several proposals from New Delhi aimed at normalizing relations, but accuses Islamabad of delaying responses to other proposals. A spokesperson for the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said on Thursday that India is pleased that Pakistan has accepted some of its proposals for renewing relations, but added that New Delhi is disappointed with the impractical, irrelevant, or delaying conditions that, according to him, Pakistan has attached to some of the proposals. India particularly criticizes Pakistan's condition that the United Nations supervise the proposed bus service between the areas controlled by the two countries in Kashmir. Last week, India presented a 12-point plan to reduce tensions with Pakistan.
