India calls off meeting with Pakistan, MEA says Pak's evil agenda exposed


New Delhi, Sep 21(Zee News): In a big development, the meet scheduled to take place between India and Pakistan in New York on the sidelines of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly has been cancelled, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday. The meet was to take place later this month.

The decision comes from the Indian side in the aftermath of the killing of a BSF soldier along the border and the release of series of 20 postal stamps by Pakistan glorifying terrorists.

MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, "Since yesterday's announcement of the meeting of foreign ministers of India and Pakistan, deeply disturbing developments took place. Latest brutal killings of our security personnel by Pakistan entities and the recent release of series of 20 postal stamps by Pakistan glorifying terrorists."

Earlier on Thursday, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar had confirmed that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will be meeting her Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi in New York.

Raveesh Kumar said: "I can confirm that on the request of the Pakistani side, a meeting between EAM and Pakistani foreign minister will take place on the sidelines of the UNGA at a mutually convenient date and time."

"This is just a meeting, not talks or resumption of dialogue," the MEA spokesperson added.

The announcement of a meeting comes hours after a letter by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for Prime Minister Narendra Modi was reported. In the letter, the Pakistani PM had called for a meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries to improve ties between the neighbouring countries.

    If you think our PM/DM/Defence chiefs are in need of this kind of puerile advice, you are insulting them out of your sheer ignorance.

    Pakistan wants meaningless, cunning meetings with India to prove the rest of the world that they are trying to solve the dispute by dialogue. India should call off Asian Cup cricket match telling the world India is not for glory while its citizens are brutally killed inside India . Off course all this cannot happen with the help of their bretheren accross the border. If war is the only solution so be it. India should prepare for a long struggle without wavering. As it is Pak is bankrupt now and depending on its foreign settled pakis for funds.
