BJP leader Sushma Swaraj Thursday asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to cancel his talks with Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, saying there should not be any "dialogue over dead bodies" following the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir in which 12 people have been killed.

"No dialogue over dead bodies. Pl cancel your meeting with Nawaz Sharif," the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader tweeted.

Terrorists from Pakistan carried out brazen attacks in Jammu region Thursday morning. They first attacked a police station and then commandeered a truck which they drove into an army camp where soldiers took them on.

But resisting the BJP call to cancel the talks, Manmohan Singh said "such attacks will not deter us and will not succeed in derailing our efforts to find a resolution to all problems through a process of dialogue".
