India has pulled out of the two-day Indo-Pak bilateral talks of investigating agencies scheduled for Tuesday in Islamabad, sources told Daily Times on Monday. Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director Vijay Shankar was scheduled to lead a delegation for talks with his Pakistani counterparts in the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The sources here said the CBI director's visit has been cancelled after a cue from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
Anguish: Though no reason has been cited to the cancellation of the visit, the sources said the move was aimed at to convey India's anguish at the suicide attack on Indian embassy in Kabul. India has officially alleged involvement of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence in the attack. Pakistan has, however, rejected such allegations terming them "baseless".
