Agenda for home secretary-level talks with Pak gets CCS nod

At the May 24-25 meeting, the home secretaries would be discussing terrorism and are expected to sign a revised visa agreement to provide for easier travel between the two countries.

Among the provisions of the revised visa agreement are the increase in the number of cities allowed to be visited, exempting elderly people from police reporting, multiple entry for business persons and group tourism.

The Indian delegation, led by Home Secretary R K Singh, is expected to press for action by Pakistan to bring the Mumbai terror attack perpetrators, including JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, to justice, and speedy trial in a Pakistani court of seven 26/11 accused like Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi.

The CCS meeting also cleared the announcements to be made by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during his two-day visit to Myanmar later this month, sources said.
