Blunt takedown by Foreign Secretary:
“India does not take cognisance of so-called Track-2 India-Pakistan events as they have no value and do not matter.”
On being asked about the so-called Track-2 India-Pakistan dialogue in Colombo, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri tells media at Victoria, Seychelles:
"I have seen the reports. I am aware of them. Dozens of these kinds of events take place in dozens of places around the world on a whole variety of subjects. There's nothing new, nothing special about these events.
As far as we are concerned, these are private events organised by private parties. There is nothing official about them. I cannot speak for the government of Pakistan, but as far as the Government of India is concerned, there is no official participation, no official support or involvement, in these visits.
Anybody from India who is participating in these events, whether it is retired diplomats, retired military officials, members of civil society, when they participate in such events, they speak for themselves and they represent their own point of view. They do not in any way, they cannot in any way represent the view of the government of India.
We really take no cognisance of these events. They really don't hold much value, as far as we are concerned.”

VIDEO | Ujjain: After offering prayers at Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple, Actor Yami Gautam Dhar says, “I had always heard words of praise about this place, words beyond even the highest praise. During ‘Oh my God’, film shooting, I could not come because of some work commitments. I remember there was a one-day shoot, but when Baba's call comes, how can one not come? I am fortunate to have my entire family with me, my brothers, sisters, and children. Baba has blessed us with his darshan (holy sight) and blessings.”
