In a tit for tat for Indian PM’s refusal to attend SAARC summit in Islamabad; Pakistan boycotted the two-day South Asian Speakers conference which began on Saturday. Pakistan had declined India’s invitation to the summit in a move that also seemed to be a retaliatory act after India boycotted a Commonwealth Parliamentary Union meet in Islamabad to protest against Pakistan’s decision to not invite the speaker of the Jammu & Kashmir assembly, in 2015. Sumitra Mahajan had said: “If Pakistan had attended the summit, it would definitely had been a good thing, but the decision to boycott the summit is their decision.”
