Claiming that the decision of Pakistan to call off the NSA-level talks was part of its “deceptive diplomacy”, Singh said cancellation of the talks has exposed the deceptive diplomacy of Pakistan in front of the entire world.

“Pakistan wanted India to call off the talks and blame it on India in the international forum. This is the real face of Pakistan, calling off the talks has exposed their deceptive diplomacy,” he said.

He said that India wanted to have some mechanism to tackle terrorism and that was the main understanding of the Ufa meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif.

“The mechanism to bring peace on the border was the main purpose of this talk. But, they never wanted it. There was no need to invite the Hurriyat and other separatist leaders,” Singh said.
