Top officials including cabinet secretary K M Chandrasekhar, defence secretary Pradeep Kumar, home secretary G K Pillai and foreign secretary Nirupama Rao were expected to attend the meet, along with the chiefs of defence forces and Intelligence Bureau.
Even though no official reason was given for this postponement, reports say that differences between the external affairs ministry and the Prime Minister's Office along with the defence ministry led to this unexpected development.
