India has decided that it will not send any official representative to the Pakistan National Day event at Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi on Friday (22 March).
“This time Pakistan High Commission decided to invite Hurriyat representatives on Pakistan National Day. On that basis, we have decided that we will not send any representative for their reception on Pakistan National Day this year,” Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar was quoted by ANI as saying.
The Pakistan National Day is observed on 23 March every year, though the Pakistani High Commission had decided to organise the reception this year on 22 March, reports Hindustan Times. An Indian minister usually represents the government at the event.
