India says Pakistan needs to decide what to do after calling off talks over Kashmir

Xinhua, August 23, 2015 Adjust font size:

Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday that Pakistan now needs to decide what they want to do after calling off the security talks over the issue of the disputed territory of Kashmir.

"Why didn't Pakistan raise the Kashmir issue in Ufa in Russia when the two Prime Ministers met last month?" the Indian minister asked.

He added: "It was understood that no third party will come in this meeting. They should have decided on this agenda earlier. Now Pakistan needs to decide what they want to do."

Pakistan called off the talks on Saturday after India insisted that no meeting was held between Pakistan officials and separatists in Indian-controlled Kashmir during the talks, which New Delhi said must be focused on terrorism.

India has also detained some Kashmir leaders who had flew to New Delhi to meet Pakistan's top security advisor.

India and Pakistan agreed to hold the meeting of their national security advisors when the prime ministers of the two countries met last month in Ufa, Russia. Endi
