Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said that the relations between India and Pakistan became better after Narendra Modi took oath as the new prime minister of India.
"The relations between both the countries weren't good earlier but the ice was broken right after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister," said Naqvi.
"Relations are becoming better now which is a good start. If Pakistan honestly thinks in this direction, then there is no problem in that. In fact it is a very good thing as Modi always thinks that the relation between two countries should always be good," he added.
Yesterday, Sharif said that he regretted the fact that Pakistan was having bad relations with India and said it was time the two had good relations.
He also said that he hoped that the planned meeting of the foreign secretaries will help move the ties forward.
