Truce violations will be part of talks

The Centre has signalled that the recent ceasefire violations will not impede the upcoming dialogue with Pakistan but would become a significant part of negotiations between the two South Asian neighbours.
In a conversation with the media yesterday -- the 15 anniversary of the Kargil war, which is commemorated as Kargil Vijay Diwas – Indian Defence Minister Arun Jaitley stressed that ceasefire violations “itself is an issue” of the talks.
Jaitley made this observation in response to a question on the impact of the recent spurt in border violations by Islamabad on the upcoming talks between the Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan that will commence on August 25.
There have been 49 ceasefire violations along the LoC this year, according to information compiled till July 22.
