Talks with Pakistan will only take place on terrorism: BJP

Criticising Pakistan's politicization on Kashmir unrest Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) leader Shaina NC on Friday said that talks between India and Pakistan will only take place on the issue of terrorism and not on Kashmir and the government will not compromise on this sensitive issue.

"Prime Minister has said time and again that dialogue with Pakistan will not be about Kashmir, it will be about terrorism and there is no compromise that is ever going to happen," she said.

Responding to Pakistan's Foreign Affairs advisor Sartaj Aziz's comment on unrest in Kashmir Shaina said that, "Sartaj Aziz can say what he wants but do we want to trust Pakistan. It is for our Prime Minister and security agencies to work in collusion with the government of the day to decide what is the best approach to delink with Pakistan because as they say once bitten twice shy."

"One side we have Indian and on the other the people who divide India, and Kashmir is not up for bargain or for sale," she added.

Aziz on Thursday, said that Pakistan has provided and will continue to provide diplomatic, political and moral support to the people of Jammu and Kashmir for realisation of their fundamental rights to self-determination in accordance with the UNSC resolutions.

He also mentioned Prime Minister Sharif's statement on the developments on the Indian side of Kashmir and the fact that Pakistan had lodged its protests with the Indian High Commissioner on the situation prevailing across the border.
