Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said Pakistan should stop firing in the border areas and violence and give an assurance on not repeating it then only talks could be initiated.
"Pakistan is involved firing on border areas. This is not good. It should first assure us of not involving in such activities and violence then only talks can be initiated," Singh said while addressing a gathering after inaugurating a post of SSB.
"Seeing the activities of Pakistan, Indian soldiers have been asked to give them befitting reply," he said.
Stating that India wants good relations with neighbouring countries, Singh said India had given all possible reply to Nepal after earthquake hit it.
He claimed that in 14-month tenure of Narendara Modi government at the Centre, the country's image has improved world wide.
On opposition parties, he said that Congress, SP and BSP all parties are afraid of their shrinking political base.
He claimed that Centre had given Rs 6000 crore to the state to clear the dues to the sugarcane farmers but the state government was not serious.
