Home Minister Rajnath Singh's speech in Islamabad, which delivered forceful messages on terrorism, was not broadcast by local media and Indian crews were not permitted to film it.
"This is the Pakistan model of democracy," retorted union minister Venkaiah Naidu in Delhi, where the Home Minister returned this evening from a tense two-day visit next door replete with rebuffs from Pakistan.
"In no circumstances should terrorists be eulogised as martyrs" the Home Minister said, challenging Pakistan for lionizing Wani and calling protest marches against his killing. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has repeatedly expressed his regret about Wani's death.
Sources in Delhi said "a blackout" of the speech is a misleading description and that conventionally, speeches at SAARC summits are not filmed, except for the opening remarks. But tension was a consistent theme. Mr Singh and Mr Khan did not shake hands, and neither of them attended a lunch for the SAARC visitors.
Meanwhile, the home minister also briefed PM Narendra Modi on his Pakistan visit.
Mr Singh's visit - the first by an Indian leader after Pakistani terrorists attacked the air force base in Pathankot, killing seven military personnel - was important, Delhi had said, because it was for a regional multi-lateral summit and not bilateral talks with Pakistan at a time of highly strained relations. As Mr Singh landed in Islamabad, the Pakistani Prime Minister baited India with new provocative statements about "a freedom movement in Kashmir."
