Dabolim (Goa), Feb 19: India today said there was “nothing wrong” in holding Foreign Secretary-level talks with Pakistan though militant camps along the borders were “still active”.
“It is a considered decision of the government to have Foreign Secretary-level talks with Pakistan. There is nothing wrong in that. Everything will now depend on the outcome of the talks,” Defence Minister A K Antony told reporters here when asked why talks were being held with Pakistan when it had not stopped aiding militants targeting India.
To a question about what would be the outcome of the talks, he said, “What will be the outcome, I can’t say. I am not an astrologer.”
Antony said, “All the 32 (militant camps in Pakistan) near their border are active even now.
“This year, the number of infiltration attempts has also gone up. All the militant outfits are still active and that is our main concern but despite this,” he said.
