India calls off foreign secy meeting with Pak after envoy meets Hurriyat

August 18, 2014 18:08

India has called off foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan, says PTI. This comes after Pakistan envoy Abdul Basit's invitation to the separatist leaders from J&K "for consultations".

The foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan were to meet on August 25 in Islamabad to discuss a road map for dialogue, two years after secretary-level bilateral talks.

There have been 48 ceasefire violations -- 11 since August 8 -- from across the border in 2014 and observers feel that these are part of Pakistan army's game plan to scuttle the talks.
