India concerned at failure of talks with Maoists

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, NOV. 26. As renewed violence engulfs Nepal, India today expressed concern at the collapse of the dialogue between the Government and the Maoist opposition.

Commenting on the latest developments in the Himalayan Kingdom, the Foreign Office spokeswoman said India believed ``violence can't be used to achieve political objectives''.

In response to a question, she said there was no word from Nepal on the coming meeting of South Asian leaders in Kathmandu. It was not up to India to decide whether the meeting should be postponed, she added.

The long-delayed summit of the South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC) is slated to be held during January 4-6 in Kathmandu.
