Being adamant about meeting Pakistan's NSA Sartaj Aziz, Separatist leader Shabbir Shah on Saturday said that they will not back out of the talks between India and Pakistan.

"We will meet Pakistan NSA Sartaj Aziz ji tomorrow at the Pakistan House in the evening," Shah told the media here.

"We have been going since 25 years to meet with Pakistan, be it, NDA Government led by Atal ji or UPA," he added.

Asserting that peaceful dialogue is the only way to resolve issues, he said: "If India doesn't hold talks how will peace be established in South-Asia?"

"We will not back out. We will go to Delhi and meet them. It is important for us to go so that we can seek answers from Pakistan's side also," he added.
