India Calls Off Talks With Pak, Says "Imran Khan's True Face Exposed" ndtv.com
NEW DELHI: Within 24 hours of announcing that foreign ministers of India and Pakistan would meet next week, the government today called off talks, hours after three policemen were kidnapped and killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. "The true face of Imran Khan has been exposed in his first few months in office," said foreign ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar.
Foreign minister Sushma Swaraj and her Pakistan counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi were to meet in New York next week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
New Delhi agreed to the talks on Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's request to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but stressed that this did not mean resumption of dialogue between the neighbours, reasserting that "talks and terror cannot go together."
Three policemen were dragged out of their homes in Kashmir's Shopian early today and killed by terrorists. The bodies of the policemen, all Special Police Officers, were found hours later in an orchard, riddled with bullets.
