India Rejects Dialogue with Pakistan: No Talks While Terrorism Continues
India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has delivered a strong message to Pakistan, stating unequivocally that dialogue is impossible while Pakistan continues to support terrorism. This firm stance comes after Pakistani Finance Minister Ishaq Dar expressed hopes for renewed talks between the two nations.
Rajnath Singh: India Only Engages with Civilized Nations
Singh emphasized that India is committed to peaceful relations, but only with countries that adhere to civilized norms and reject terrorism. He underscored that Pakistan’s continued support for cross-border terrorism creates an environment hostile to meaningful dialogue. This firm position highlights India’s unwavering stance on the issue of terrorism and its impact on bilateral relations.
Pakistan Awaits India’s Response
While Ishaq Dar has indicated Pakistan’s desire for dialogue, Rajnath Singh’s strong words leave little room for immediate progress. Pakistan now awaits India’s official response, but the prospects for any resumption of talks appear dim given the current climate. The ball is firmly in Pakistan’s court to address India’s concerns regarding terrorism.
