#Pak tried to make a spectacle of talks by meeting separatist leaders:# Modi

Breaking his silence on cancellation of talks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India was “disappointed” as Pakistan wanted to make a “spectacle” by meeting separatist leaders but said efforts will continue to build peaceful, friendly and cooperative ties with Pakistan.

He laid the ground rules for future talks, asserting that “any meaningful bilateral dialogue necessarily requires an environment that is free from terrorism and violence”.
