The Congress Party on Saturday said Pakistan must force the ISIS and its army to give up terrorist activities against India.

"Pakistan must heed to that. Pakistan is getting internationally isolated and they must force the ISIS and its army to give up their direct support to terrorist activities against India," Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit told ANI.

"The dossier has no meaning, whatever dossier you want to give on India is irrelevant in the United Nations, as very clearly the foreign minister has said that until and unless you stop supporting terrorist activities, there is no point in continuing discussions of the kind which were happening earlier," he added.

Dikshit further said, "I am happy that the government has come to the same view that the Congress has always had, that you cannot have a dual policy of encouraging terrorism on other side and speaking to us."

Pakistan has submitted 'dossiers' of alleged Indian support for terrorism in Balochistan and Karachi, and the Pakistani Taliban, to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
