New Delhi: Despite Imran Khan's request for talks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not exchange any pleasantries at the recently concluded Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Bishkek. India has clearly said that it cannot have talks with Pakistan government until support for terrorism comes to an end.
Talking exclusively to ETV Bharat, former diplomat Achal Malhotra said, "Until Pakistan takes any tangible verifiable concrete action against terrorism which is sponsored by them. They must not expect any measures from the government of India which softens the relations of both the nation."
When asked whether the action taken by Pakistan post-Balakot air strike is genuine or an eyewash like always, he said, "Pakistan is under tremendous international pressure right now. They have their own economic crisis and they are also facing heat from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). So, these are mere cosmetic measure from them."
