India to boycott Saarc summit in Islamabad

New Delhi: India said on Tuesday that it is "unable to participate" in the upcoming SAARC Summit in Islamabad. In a statement, India said increasing cross-border terrorist attacks in the region "by one country" have created an environment that is not conducive to the successful holding of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation summit. However, Pakistan has termed it 'unfortunate'. It has also cleared that it hasn't received any official confirmation from India on its decision to not attend SAARC summit. Earlier in the day, India’s Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar called on Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit and presented proof of cross border origins of the terror attack that killed 18 soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri. Jaishankar informed him that the two guides who helped infiltration were apprehended by local villagers and were in custody.
