V K Singh is reportedly unhappy after he was asked to attend Pakistan's foundation day function at its embassy in presence of Kashmiri separatists leaders.

“I do not owe an explanation to anybody”, a dismissive Minister of State for External Affairs V K Singh said today when asked about his cryptic tweets late last night using words “disgust” and “duty” after representing the government at the Pakistan function here.

The former Army Chief had been deputed by the government to represent it at the Pakistan National Day reception at the High Commission where Kashmiri separatist leaders were also present. He stayed for a brief while only.
