Sinha rules out talks with Pak. during NAM

Ranchi Feb. 11. The External Affairs Minister, Yashwant Sinha, today ruled out any talks with Pakistan on the sidelines of the coming Non-Aligned summit in Kuala Lumpur later this month.

Mr. Sinha emphatically said ``no'' when asked if there would be talks with Pakistan at any level during the summit.

Asked when the tit-for-tat expulsions between the two countries would stop, he said it depended on Pakistan, whose diplomatic staff in New Delhi indulged in activities incompatible to their official position.

He said Pakistan should restrain its High Commission staff in India from indulging in such activities.
