NEW DELHI : A call on a meeting between the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan next month in New York will be taken after all the inputs are brought in, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said today, asserting that it was not the “appropriate” time now to comment on it.
Maintaining that he was not in a position to say anything as it was not the appropriate time, Khurshid told reporters that let us wait for the appropriate time and a call will be taken after all the inputs were brought in.
He was responding to a query whether there will be a meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in the backdrop of killing of five Indian soldiers by Pakistan Army along LoC.
Pakistani troops attacked the Indian post in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir late Monday night, killing the soldiers.
The Pakistani troops intruded into the Indian territory past midnight and ambushed the Sarla post on the Indian side of the LoC, Defence Ministry sources said.
Singh is under pressure from the BJP not to hold meeting with Sharif in view of the killings. (AGENCIES)
