NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India summoned Pakistan's envoy in protest against a telephone call made by Pakistan's foreign minister to a separatist leader in Indian Kashmir and said there would be consequences if there was more such contact.

The row is the latest to erupt between the nuclear-armed rivals over the disputed territory of Kashmir at the heart of seven decades of hostility. India has refused any talks with its neighbour saying it must first stop supporting militants fighting its rule in Muslim-majority Kashmir.
