Pakistani peace delegation arrives in India
A twenty-strong Pakistani peace delegation has left for India in an effort to defuse tensions between the two nuclear armed Asian rivals.
The delegation comprises of right activists, former diplomats, sportsmen, artists and senior journalists, a Press TV correspondent reported from Islamabad on Wednesday.
The peace delegation will hold meetings with representatives of Indian civil societies, politicians, lawyers and journalists to ease tensions and to seek solutions to all outstanding issues through dialogue.
Pakistan sends delegation as India's Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee calls on the international community to discipline Islamabad over its alleged 'terrorism sponsorship' activities.
"It clearly spells out that if a state apparatus sponsors terrorism as an act of state policy, or a recalcitrant state refuses to recognize its international commitments and responsibilities on not allowing the use of (its) territory for terror activities, the problem becomes more complex and difficult," Mukherjee said in New Delhi.
Tension has been running high between the nuclear-armed neighbors since the attacks on the Indian port city of Mumbai on November 26-29 left 179 people killed.
India has accused Pakistan of involvement in the attacks while the latter has dismissed the charges.
