Indian policies guided by extremist ideologies: Pak on cancelled FM meet

Pakistan's Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudry on Friday accused Indian policies of being guided by extremist ideologies.

Chaudry tweeted, "It seems that the Indian govt is divided on the issue of negotiations - have never seen such a puerile statement given by any Foreign Office. The world is watching: Pakistan stands for peace while Indian policies are being guided by extremist ideologies."
