New Delhi, Aug.18 (ANI): Congress leader Manish Tewari today questioned the NDA Government’s deafening silence over Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit’s invitation to Kashmiri separatist leaders for talks before the foreign secretaries of the two countries meet in Islamabad on August 25. “Pakistan’s High Commissioner in India is feting separatists, Pakistani Army is intruding into Indian territory, the ISI and its instrumentalities are attacking our consulate in Herat, and this government is deafening in its silence. This is the same government when it was in the opposition, whose face used to turn red and blue whenever there was any provocation from Pakistan. “And given the fact that Pakistan has ostensibly even eliminated Hafiz Sayeed’s name from the 26/11 charge sheet, where is the rationale for going ahead with the proposed talks on August 25 this year given the background over the past two-months.
