A spokesman for the Ministry of External Affairs said that conversations and terrorism cannot run together. He said that he is ready to discuss the handing over of those terrorists to India, whose list was given to Pakistan a few years ago.
New Delhi: India once again stressed on Thursday that the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan will remain postponed until Islamabad stops supporting terrorism across the border. India says that water and blood cannot flow together. Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal also said that any bilateral dialogue with Islamabad will only be held by Pakistan only when the illegal occupied areas of Kashmir will be evacuated.
Third does not interfere in conversation between India and Pakistan
He said in response to a question asked by US President Donald Trump to show interest in helping India and Pakistan in solving the Kashmir issue, that you are well aware of our situation that any conversation between India and Pakistan should be bilateral. Jaiswal said that I would like to remind you that conversation and terrorism cannot walk together. He said that in the case of terrorism, we are ready to discuss the handing over those terrorists to India, whose list was given to Pakistan a few years ago.
Any bilateral talks on India’s terms
Jaiswal said that I would like to emphasize that any bilateral discussion on Jammu and Kashmir will be held only on vacating the Indian region illegally occupied by Pakistan. When asked about the Indus Water Treaty, he said that this treaty would remain postponed until Islamabad stops supporting terrorism across the border. He said that until Pakistan renounces its support to terrorism across the border, it will be postponed. As our Prime Minister has said that water and blood cannot flow together. India has announced a series of punitive measures against Pakistan, including suspending the Indus Water Treaty on 23 April.
India gave a befitting reply to Pahalgam attack
A day after the Pahalgam terror attack, these measures were announced in which 26 civilians were killed. In response to the Pahalgam terror attack, India destroyed it by making accurate attacks on nine terrorist structures on the morning of 7 May. After Indian action, Pakistan tried to attack Indian military bases on 8, 9 and 10 May. The Indian side of Pakistani efforts vigorously responded by causing heavy damage to several major Pakistani military establishments including air locations, air defense systems, command and control centers and radar sites. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri announced on May 10 that India and Pakistan have entered into an agreement to prevent all firing and military operations on land, air and sea with immediate effect.
