Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday (22 September) took to twitter to express disappointment on India calling off talks with his country.
We had reported yesterday that the Narendra Modi government has cancelled talks with Pakistan, scheduled to take place on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting later this month in New York, hours after the killing of three policemen in the Kashmir Valley by terrorists.
The Ministry of External Affairs had agreed to hold talks with Pakistan on Thursday. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi were scheduled to meet on 26 September.
The government was forced to review its decision after the killing of three policemen by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists in the Kashmir Valley. The three policemen were abducted after terrorists issued a warning asking them to resign or suffer consequences.
Now as a result of India’s snub, an upset Imran Khan has tweeted that he is disappointed by the “arrogant and negative” response.
Disappointed at the arrogant & negative response by India to my call for resumption of the peace dialogue. However, all my life I have come across small men occupying big offices who do not have the vision to see the larger picture.

He furthered his attack by indirectly calling PM Modi a “small man” who does not have the vision to see the larger picture.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
