The Ministry of external affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar in a presser said, "I can confirm India has decided not to send any representative. This decision was taken after Pak HC decided to invite the Hurriyat representative to the reception."Adding, "You are aware of about our reaction in the past, most recently in February. We are very clear, any attempt by Pakistan leadership or High Commission to engage with the Hurriyat leadership will not be taken lightly."
It is important to note that no Hurriyat leader was seen at Pakistani national day even though they were invited.Pakistan national day marked on 23rd March is the day when Muslim League passed the Lahore resolution calling for the formation of Pakistan on 23rd March 1940. Pakistan on 23rd March 1956 also adopted its first constitution.
