India on Thursday rejected Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's suggestion for a United States-sponsored roadmap on the lines of West Asia to resolve the Kashmir issue.
"We have repeatedly said there is no third party role in the bilateral dialogue..." External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha, who is accompanying Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his six-day official trip to China, told NDTV's 24x7 channel.
Musharraf had told an American TV channel that he would like US President George W Bush to involve himself in the Kashmir issue, but feared India would not allow that as it wanted bilateral resolution 'of everything'.
