Pakistan accused the Narendra Modi government of "sabotaging" the NSA-level talks with its "fanatic approach" and said its "negative attitude" was aimed at disrupting peace in the region.

Upping the ante a day after Pakistan called off talks between National Security Advisors Sartaj Aziz and Ajit Doval, Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said, "negative attitude of Modi government was to disrupt peace in the region," state-run Radio Pakistan quoted him as saying.

In provocative remarks, he said, "India sabotaged the Pak-India talks scheduled to be held in New Delhi today due to its fanatic approach".
