New Delhi: Indian and Pakistani National Security Advisors will meet for bilateral-level talks on August 23 in New Delhi. Pakistan communicated the dates to the Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad TC Raghavan.
There was some uncertainty over the NSA level talks following the twin terror strikes in Punjab's Gurdaspur and Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir which were carried out by Pakistani terrorists belonging to the Lashkar-e-Toiba group.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif agreed to hold NSA level talks when they met in Ufa in Russia in June on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit.
Intelligence sources had said that recent Gurdaspur terror attack could not have been possible without the backing of ISI and Pakistan army.
Terror returned to the Punjab on July 27 after more than a decade leaving behind a trail of death and destruction as the group of heavily armed terrorists launched a suicide attack at a police station in Dinanagar in Gurdaspur district of the Punjab in the morning reviving fears of Khalistani terror groups making a comeback in the state.
The terrorists killed seven people including one Superintendent of Police Baljeet Singh and three home guards before all of them were eliminated.
