Tashkent [Uzbekistan]:Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday evaded questions on Pakistan's role concerning the Taliban's actions in Afghanistan and sought to put blame on "RSS ideology" for the talks stalled with India amid concerns over its support to cross-border terrorism.
Khan, who is in Tashkent to attend Central-South Asian conference, was asked by the media personnel on the sidelines of the event if talks and terror can go together. "I can tell India that we are waiting for long that we live like civilised neighbours. But what can we do. The ideology of RSS has come in the way," Khan told the media.
Khan did not take further questions even as a query was sought to be put to him about the relationship concerning the Taliban and Pakistan in the context of developments in Afghanistan. As Imran Khan walked further with his security detail, the media correspondent persisted with his question "Is Taliban not under your control... allegations are being levelled against you."
India has repeatedly told Pakistan to take credible, verifiable and irreversible action against terrorist networks and proxies operating from territories under its control and conveyed that terror and talks cannot take place together.
