Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh will leave for Pakistan tomorrow to attend the SAARC Home Ministers' conference in Islamabad. Mr Singh, in his speech at the two-day meeting, is expected to raise the issue of Pakistan's support to terror groups operating in India and ask Islamabad to check Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and other groups based in that country.<br/><br/>External Affairs Ministry has made it clear that there will be no bilateral meeting between the Home Minister and Pakistani leaders. The visit comes in the backdrop of growing strain in Indo-Pak ties after Pakistan and its Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made provocative statements on the Kashmir situation in the wake of a militant's killing on the 8th of this month.
