बातचीत की गुहार पर PAK को जवाब: भारत ने कहा- पहले आतंकवाद बंद करो, हमने तो हमेशा अच्छे रिश्ते चाहे

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif requested for talks with India twice in two days. Now for the first time the Ministry of External Affairs of India has given a reaction on this. Foreign Ministry said- India has always wanted good relations with Pakistan, but the situation should be such that there is no place for terrorism.

The Prime Minister of Pakistan had given a long interview to Al Arabiya channel. Its first part was telecast on Tuesday and the second on Wednesday. While offering unconditional talks to India, Sharif also said that Pakistan has learned lessons from the three wars with India. He also appealed to UAE to persuade India for talks. However, Sharif’s office later clarified that Wazir-e-Azam’s statement was being misrepresented and that he had not offered unconditional talks.

Terrorism and talks are not possible together
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi answered questions on several important issues related to foreign policy in a press conference on Thursday. On Pakistan’s offer of talks, Bagchi said- We have said earlier also and want to say now that India wants good neighborly relations with each of its neighbors and Pakistan, but for this the right environment will also have to be created. Dialogue is not possible in an atmosphere of terrorism and violence. There has been no change in our stand.

Recently, a woman from Punjab had made allegations of misbehavior in the Pakistan High Commission. On the question asked about this, Bagchi said – This issue has been raised in front of Pakistan through diplomatic channels. We have also seen his statement. The foreign ministry there is probing the matter. We are keeping an eye on it.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif had recently requested for talks with Modi and sought help from UAE for this.

Cleanliness on Myanmar’s air operation
Recently, there was news that India’s airspace has been violated by Myanmar. On the question asked about this, the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs said – On January 10 and 11, some air operations took place in Myanmar. We want to make it clear that during this time the army there did not make any attempt to enter the Indian airspace. Yes, on January 10, a bomb was definitely found on the banks of Tiau river. This area is on the Indo-Myanmar border. We have discussed this with the government there. It shares border with Mizoram.

Attacks on temples in Australia wrong
Recently in Australian media reports it was claimed that there have been attacks on some Hindu temples there. On this question, Bagchi said – Our Consulate General present in Melbourne has complained to the police there. We have told them to catch the culprits and get them punished. Also, make concrete arrangements to stop such activities in future. India will not tolerate all this. Many Australian leaders have also condemned these attacks.
