NSA level talks with Pakistan as per schedule

‘We are still awaiting a response from Islamabad to our proposal’ – Official sources

New Delhi: India will go ahead with the NSA-level talks with Pakistan notwithstanding the terror strike in J&K on Wednesday in which a suspected Pakistani terrorist was caught alive.

India is expected to place proof of Pakistan-backed terror at the NSA-level talks. But there was no word yet whether the government would take up the matter of Pakistan-supported terror with the Pakistan high commission. “We are still awaiting a response from Islamabad to our proposal to hold the talks between the two NSAs on August 23-24 here,” official sources said.

Being the host country, India had proposed the dates for the talks between National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and Pakistan Prime Minister’s adviser on national security and foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz later in August.
