Government Says Track-2 Dialogues With Pakistan Are Private Affairs

The government clarified that Track-2 dialogues with Pakistan fall outside its official remit, with participants acting in a private capacity. Minister of State Kirti Vardhan Singh made the statement in response to a question raised by Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge.

Track-2 dialogues refer to informal, unofficial talks between non-governmental actors from both countries aimed at building understanding and exploring possibilities for dialogue. The government's position indicates it does not formally oversee or take responsibility for such private interactions between individuals from India and Pakistan.
