NEW DELHI: Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh will fly on Thursday to Islamabad to attend a summit of SAARC, but he will not hold a one-on-one meeting with his Pakistani counterpart, the India’s Ministry of External Affairs said on Friday. “Let me categorically state that the home minister is going for SAARC event. There will be no bilateral meetings with Pakistan,” MEA spokesman Vikas Swarup tweeted, rubbishing rumours in Indian media that he may meet counterparts from other countries, including Pakistan’s Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan. Home Minister Rajnath Singh is set to visit Islamabad next week to attend a meeting of SAARC interior ministers. Singh’s visit comes at a time when relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbours are strained due to India’s suppression of protests that erupted over the extra-judicial killing of Kashmiri rebel leader Burhan Wani. Pakistan has been extending moral and diplomatic support to the Kashmiris’ struggle, and July 20 was observed as a ‘black day’ to protest Indian atrocities in Held Kashmir.
