New Delhi: Chairman Hurriyat (G) Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who arrived in the national capital on Tuesday, met Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit.
Meanwhile, some people were seen protesting against Geelani outside the Pakistan High Commission. In order to control the mob Delhi police detained some protesters.
Earlier, Geelani today termed the Centre’s decision of cancelling the Indo-Pak Foreign Secretary-level talks as unfortunate.
Geelani, known for his anti-India rhetoric, opined that the Kashmir is an international issue and peace cannot return to the Valley until India and Pakistan resolve it amicably.
Expressing his views on Narendra Modi government’s decision of cancelling the Indo-Pak talks, the Hurriyat leader stated that India reacted in a childish manner and the decision doesn’t hold importance.
“We have been visiting Pakistan Embassy several times to hold talks, the decision to cancel foreign secretary-level talks is undemocratic,” Geelani said.
The NDA government had on Monday called off the August 25 foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan, terming unacceptable “the continued efforts to interfere” in its internal affairs.
However, despite India’s tough stand, the separatists leaders decided to go ahead with their scheduled meeting with the Pakistan High Commissioner in Delhi today.
