Pakistan is provoking India yet again ahead of the meeting of the National Security Advisors of the two countries. Pakistan's Deputy High Commissioner Mansoor Ahmad Khan called up Hurriyat hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani and extended the invitation for the talks with his country's National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz, sources say.

The meeting is likely to be held on August 24, the same day when the NSA level talks between India and Pakistan are also scheduled to be held in New Delhi. The move by Pakistan comes even as India had in 2014 called off Foreign Secretary-level talks with Pakistan after the Pakistan High Commissioner held consultations with separatists.According to sources, India is planning to go hard on Pakistan during the National Security Advisor-level talks scheduled. India's sole agenda is to give Pakistan enough evidence for its terror activities. India is planning to raise five major terror related issues with Pakistan and back it with hard evidence.

Pakistan National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz will be confronted with a battery of concrete proof of state sponsored terror against India. India will give list of 56 terrorists based in Pakistan.

The main evidence for India is Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist Mohammad Naved alias Usman Khan's confirmation that he is a Pakistani national. Naved was captured in Udhampur in Jammu & Kashmir after he and his accomplice Mohammad Noman attacked a Border Security Force convoy in which two troopers were killed.
