NEW DELHI: Ahead of the Indo-Pak talks under the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in Lahore, India today stuck to its stand that Pakistan needs to walk away from terrorism for any Government-level dialogue to take place.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Gopal Baglay rejected the suggestion that India’s participation at the Permanent Indus Commission meet on March 20-21 amounted to resumption of the dialogue.
Reacting to a query on remarks of Mahmud Ali Durrani that the 26/11 Mumbai strike carried out by a Pak-based group and that its chief Hafiz Saeed is punished, Baglay said India has been maintaining that the conspiracy was totally carried out from Pakistan, which should take action against the perpetrators.
