Congress leader Rashid Alvi on Saturday said that no result would have come out of the NSA-level talks if it would have taken place amidst the ongoing ceasefire violations and the continuous terrorists activities.
"No result would have come out of the talks with the ceasefire violations and the terrorist activities taking place," Alvi told ANI.
