No talks at gun point: Panja

NEW DELHI, NOV.27 The Minister of State for External Affairs, Mr. Ajit Kumar Panja, tonight sought to downplay media speculation about early resumption of Indo-Pak talks, asserting ``peace talks cannot be held at gun point.''

``'There is no hide and seek in this,'' he told in a television programme apparently referring to reports which spoke of Government sending signals to Islamabad to positively respond to the unilateral ceasefire offer in Kashmir.

On the parallel ongoing track-II efforts jointly by both sides to evolve pragmatic approach to resolve the Kashmir imbroglio, he maintained ``there is no track-II in this.''
