COLOMBO: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani will hold an important meeting with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh today. Both leaders are in Sri Lankan capital Colombo to attend the 15th SAARC summit meeting.Meeting between the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan is expected to dominate the SAARC proceedings.Ties between New Delhi and Islamabad hit trouble after India blamed "elements" in Pakistan for the bombing of its Kabul embassy last month that killed at least 41 people. India has the "cleanest" evidence that Pakistan's spy agency, the ISI, was involved in the Kabul blast, a senior Indian official who declined to be identified said in Colombo on Friday. The perpetrators wanted "India out of Afghanistan," the Indian official said, adding Singh would raise the issue with Gilani during their talks. After the embassy attack, New Delhi said the peace talks with Islamabad were "under stress" but the Indian official said that India wanted the dialogue to continue.
"We have to keep dealing with Pakistan," he said.
"We have to draw a clear line of distinction between the Pakistan government and rogue intelligence agencies."
