A gun salute to honour soldiers killed by Pakistanis at the Line of Control
New Delhi: Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has tried to ease tensions with India by urging both sides to work swiftly to shore up a 10-year ceasefire threatened by recent attacks, but sources say New Delhi is clear that it can't be "business as usual" after the killing of five Indian jawans in Jammu and Kashmir by terrorists backed by the Pakistani Army earlier this week.
India is also likely to delay its response to Islamabad's proposal for talks on the dispute over Sir Creek and a barrage project on the river Jhelum in Kashmir. These were meant to be secretary level talks later this month but sources say it looks unlikely with no dates finalised till now.
