 "Shift NSA-level talks to Islamabad to call Pak's bluff: Omar Abdullah")
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today suggested shifting the venue of Indo-Pak NSA-level talks from Delhi to Islamabad to call Pakistan's "bluff".
"Here's a thought - why doesn't the Indian NSA call Pakistan's bluff and shift the venue to Islamabad since both sides are so keen to talk?" Omar Abdullah wrote on Twitter.
His suggestion came in the wake of uncertainty over NSA-level talks between India and Pakistan following latter's insistence on meeting Hurriyat leaders during Pakistan's National Security Adviser Sartaj Aziz's visit to Delhi tomorrow for talks with his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval.
The two leaders had agreed that the officials will meet in Delhi to discuss terror-related issues.
