As uncertainty over the India-Pakistan National Security Advisor (NSA) level talks looms large, government has finalised the venue and made all preparations to host the guests. Hyderabad House at India Gate, has been booked for Monday, where the talks will be held and officials have also finalised the day's schedule.
Sources said the Kashmiri separatist leaders will not be allowed to meet the Pakistani delegation led by NSA Sartaj Aziz. "We will try to stop them at Srinagar airport itself and if at all they land in Delhi, they will not be allowed to come out of the airport here," said a senior government official.
Sources said India was in no mood to let the talks fail and will pull all stops to make it a success.
"On our part, we have made all arrangements, even booked Hyderabad House and decided the menu also. The seating arrangement and the session has also been planned in detail," said the official.
Another official said all the concerned officers involved in the deliberations of the NSA level talks have been asked to be on standby and be available on the weekend.
"We in the government, work on Saturdays in natural course also but this time since the talks are on Monday, and the Pakistani delegation is expected to reach here on Sunday, we have been asked to be on our toes," said the official.
