New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said Pakistan that it is up to them to decide whether they
want to talk with India or the separatists.
Arun Jaitley said, “It is for Pakistan to decide whom they want to talk to India or the separatist elements. The hostile environment being created at the border is not favourable for talks to continue.”
He said that the Indian government has time and again shown its willingness to hold talks with Pakistan but it has to be their decision on which way they want to choose.
Union Minister said, “Current government has sent a clear signal that we are willing to speak with Pakistan. We invited the head of the government to India at swearing of our government.”
He also said that the environment of dialogue has to be set by Pakistan.
Jaitley said, “There cannot be hostile environment at the International Border for talks to go on. The kind of misadventure when you start killing civilians probably has consequences which will be unaffordable to Pakistan.”
