Why Centre is making separatist Hurriyat leaders a crucial factor in deciding India-Pakistan relationship, the CPI asked and insisted on "meaningful talks" as agreed to in Ufa in Russia.
"Why should Hurriyat be made a crucial deciding factor in India-Pakistan relationship? There have been ups and downs in the relationship, but both the countries have agreed to engage in meaningful dialogues.
"And had agreed to carry forward the dialogue process in Ufa. If talks are called off, what will be the big gain for India and Pakistan?" asked CPI national secretary D Raja.
"It should also take steps to contain terror groups operating from its land," Raja said.
India today made it clear to Pakistan that it should not go ahead with the meeting of its NSA Sartaz Aziz with Hurriyat representatives when he comes to hold talks with his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval in Delhi, saying it will not be "appropriate".
