Minister of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, confirming the development, cited "unclean intentions" on Pakistain's side.
"It is obvious that behind Pakistain's proposal for talks to make a fresh beginning, the evil agenda of Pakistain stands exposed and the true face of the new Prime Minister Imran Khan

Although the stamps were issued on July 24, a day before the general elections were held, the issue was raised by Indian media in the last 24 hours.
A day earlier on Thursday, Raveesh Kumar had confirmed India's agreement to Pakistain's request for a meeting between Foreign Minister Qureshi and his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj on the sidelines of the UNGA.
The requests were made by PM Khan and Qureshi in two separate letters handed to Indian officials.
"I can confirm that on the request of the Pak side, a meeting between the external affairs minister and the Pak foreign minister will take place on the sidelines of the UNGA at a mutually convenient date and time," Kumar had said, stressing that the planned meeting should not be misconstrued as a dialogue.
"I must differentiate between meeting and a dialogue," said the Indian official. "This is a meeting and not dialogue. This is a meeting which we have agreed to, based on a request which we have got from the Pak side."
