New Delhi, July 28 (IBNS) : Home Minister Rajnath Singh will fly on Monday to Islamabad to attend a SAARC summit, reports said.

His visit takes place amid a continuing tension with Pakistan on the issue of instigating cross border violence after the reported encounter death of terrorist Burhan Wani on July eight.

Exalting Wani as a martyr Pakistan has  accused India of taking recourse to  violation of human rights in the Kashmir Valley to suppress people's demonstrations.

In an agressive payback, India on Saturday said that the "dream of Kashmir becoming Pakistan" will not be realized even "to the end of eternity". 

Pakistan's "unabashed embrace of terrorism" and its use of "dirty money" were highlighted by Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj as she stressed, "All of Kashmir belongs to India."

In the continued violence in Kashmir since Wani's death more than 45 people have died and nearly 3,000  injured in incidents of clashes between protesting mobs and security forces.
