India calls off secretary-level talks with Pakistan

By Web Desk Tribune Published: August 18, 2014

India has called off foreign secretary-level bilateral talks with Pakistan, which were scheduled to be held on August 25, according to the Times of India.

The development follows a meeting between Pakistani High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit and Hurriyat leaders from Kashmir earlier on Monday.

The meeting met with criticism from various political quarters in India, with the main opposition Congress hitting out at the government for allowing Basit to meet the Hurriyat leaders.

The Congress questioned why the talks had not been called off, following the meeting.

Meanwhile, prominent Hurriyat leader Shabir Ahmad Shah on Monday welcomed the upcoming India-Pakistan foreign-secretary level talks. However, he said that bilateral dialogue between the two countries would not resolve the

Kashmir issue, according to TOI.
“We welcome the talks between India and Pakistan but bilateral talks cannot resolve Kashmir issue as we have seen that such initiatives always ended in failure over the past six decades,” Shah said.

Shah elaborated that the Kashmir issue could not be resolved without the inclusion of the “true leadership” of Jammu and Kashmir in the resolution process.

He went on to say there was nothing wrong with the Pakistani envoy meeting Hurriyat leaders. “India and Pakistan are parties to the Kashmir dispute but we are the basic party. What is wrong if one party meets the other party?” he said.
