Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyer has once again sparked controversy, this time saying that he loves Pakistan as much as he loves India.

Speaking at a function in Karachi on Sunday, Aiyar said the need of the hour was for both countries to engage in uninterrupted dialogue.

He added, &quot;I love Pakistan because I love India. India should love thy neighbour as thyself.&quot; Aiyar asserted that &#39;Kashmir&#39; and &#39;India-directed terrorism&#39; are the two main issues that need to be dealt with.

The report cited Aiyar as saying that Pakistan has improved drastically in its approach to towards India, whereas the latter has improved only marginally.&nbsp;

&quot;There is only one way to resolve the India- Pakistan issue and that is by way of uninterrupted and un-interruptible dialogue,&quot; he said.

He further said that India and Pakistan should adopt a framework that was formulated by the regime led by former president General (retired) Pervez Musharraf.

Aiyar called for uninterrupted and uninterruptible dialogue between the two neighbours. He added that if talks continue on that framework, then both sides will be able to reach an agreement in as little as four minutes as it was already developed in three years.

Meanwhile, during the recently concluded Gujarat campaign, he had sparked a row by calling PM Modi &quot; neech&quot;.&nbsp;
