The Indian government has called off talks with Pakistan, after its High Commissioner in Delhi consulted Kashmiri separatist leaders.

Indian Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh was due to meet her Pakistani counterpart in Islamabad, when High Commissioner Abdul Basit announced his plan to meet the Kashmiris last week.

India's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said Delhi told the High Commissioner "that Pakistan's continued efforts to interfere in India's internal affairs were unacceptable".

Turkish security forces have killed a Kurdish protestor, after demonstrations against the removal of a statue of Mahsum Korkmaz, the founder of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

The statue was unveiled in a PKK cemetery last week, in the Kurdish city of Lice, to mark the 30th anniversary of the first attack by the group, which is banned as a terrorist organisation in the country.

The nationwide census conducted by the Burmese regime deliberately excluded Rohingya Muslims, independent observers charged.

The Myanmar Census Observation Team said the government rejected census forms from those who self-identified as Rohingya, the Myanmar Times reports.

"The exclusion of the Rohingya/Bengali population from the census enumeration poses serious methodological problems," a report from the 47-member census monitor group said.

"The resulting undercount will not only have a negative impact on the census results at the state and region levels but also at the national level if the missing population is not included, based on a proper count."

The government does not recognise the term Rohingya, referring to the people as Bengalis.

UN officials said they avoid the term Rohingya in public, for fear of stirring tensions between majority Buddhists and the Muslims.
