Interestingly Congress has demanded that the government should call off NSA level talks with Pakistan given the fact that “innocent villagers were being killed in Jammu and Kashmir in ceasefire violations”.
Congress leader and former union minister, Manish Tiwari has said, “Innocent villagers slaughtered by merciless firing. Why NSA level talks under such circumstances? It seems Pakistan armed forces are giving 21 gun salute to manner in which BJP government compromised unity and integrity of India in Ufa.”
