NEW DELHI: A parliamentary panel has asked the Government to “remove stumbling blocks” in resolving outstanding issues with Pakistan through dialogue, and pitched for a National Security Framework (NSF) and a coherent strategy towards the neighbouring country.
The Committee on External Affairs also noted the fact that by neither publicly accepting not acting against terrorism emanating from its soil, Pakistan has displayed its unwillingness to create conducive environment for improving bilateral ties.
“However, this should not deter the Government of India from taking steps from its side so that the situation of stalemate does not linger,” it said in its report on “Indo-Pak relations” presented in Lok Sabha today.
Noting that the Government has reiterated its readiness for resolution of all outstanding issues peacefully and bilaterally, the report said, however, the Government has not mentioned any fresh initiative undertaken by neither side to create conducive environment for engagement. (AGENCIES)
