Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai has said that the Union government acts only as a facilitator between States to settle bilateral issues.
Replying to question posed by Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) member, in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, Mr. Rai said the focus of the Central government had consistently been on bilateral issues that could be resolved only with the cooperation of the State government concerned.
“The Central government acts only as a facilitator for amicable settlement of the disputes, in a spirit of mutual accommodation and understanding,” he added.
