Shortly after attending a reception by the Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit in New Delhi on Monday, ex-army chief and minister of state for external affairs Gen VK Singh tweeted of “disgust” and “duty” — a move described by India media as “an embarrassment for Prime Minister Narendra Modi”.
The Indian minister was among several guests invited by the Pakistani envoy to attend celebrations for Pakistan Day.
Among others invited were several pro-independence Kashmiri leaders including Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, Syed Ali Shah Geelani as well as Yaseen Malik.
