In Meeting With Pak Foreign Secretary Tomorrow, India To Raise Pathankot Probe

New Delhi: For the first time since the Pathankot attack, Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan will meet in New Delhi tomorrow. The meeting will take place on the sidelines of a conference on Afghanistan.

Government sources have told NDTV that Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar and his Pakistani counterpart Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry will hold a bilateral meeting where India will raise the Pathankot probe and reiterate its concerns on Masood Azhar, the chief of the Jaish-e-Mohammad, the terror group India says is responsible for Pathankot attack.

Sources say the comprehensive bilateral dialogue is not up for discussion.  

The foreign secretary-level talks were postponed indefinitely in January after the Pathankot attack. Since then, ties have been troubled with Pakistan's High Commissioner to India recently causing controversy when he said the peace process was "suspended".

India does not describe the process as "suspended" but has made it clear it wants to see action on terror and Pathankot first before a comprehensive dialogue can resume.

Last month, a five-member probe team from Pakistan visited the Pathankot base where seven military personnel died after a group of Pakistani terrorists breached the 1,200-acre complex at the start of the year.
