Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday hit-out at Narendra Modi government after India called-off dialogue with Pakistan on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York this month.
On Friday, citing the 'brutal' killing of three policemen in Jammu and Kashmir as well as the release of postal stamps 'glorifying' Kashmiri militant Burhan Wani, India canceled the meeting between External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
"Disappointed at the arrogant & negative response by India to my call for resumption of the peace dialogue. However, all my life I have come across small men occupying big offices who do not have the vision to see the larger picture," tweeted Imran Khan.
Announcing the cancellation of the New York meeting, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in New Delhi that the incidents "exposed" the "true face" of Pakistan's new Prime Minister Imran Khan to the world as well as Islamabad's evil agenda behind the proposal for talks.
"The latest brutal killings of our security personnel by Pakistan-based entities and the recent release of a series of 20 postage stamps by Pakistan glorifying a terrorist and terrorism confirm that Pakistan will not mend its ways," Kumar said.
However, Qureshi expressed disappointment at the cancellation of the foreign minister-level talks, saying it was "unfortunate."
"It is unfortunate that India has not given a positive response. Indian has once again wasted an opportunity for peace," Qureshi told the media.
He said that it was important to sit and talk for the sake of peace and stability in the region.
"The refusal of India shows that Indian government is facing internal pressure," he said.
"It seems that India is already preparing for its elections due in the country next year," Qureshi was quoted as saying by the Express Tribune.
