Kashmir separatist Yasin Malik to skip Pak reception

August 20, 2015 19:56

Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Yasin Malik will not attend Pakistan high commission's reception. He will, however, send a two-member team to represent him.

Kashmiri separatists have been invited to meet Pakistan's Sartaj Aziz on Sunday. They were placed under house arrest today, but were released hours later.

Aziz will arrive on Sunday in New Delhi for talks on terror with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. The invite to separatists to a reception for Aziz has left New Delhi fuming.

In what could stir more trouble, the Pakistan foreign office spokesperson said Aziz would "raise all issues including Kashmir", reports NDTV.
