RSS flays Antony for not naming Pak army in Poonch killings

Condemning the Poonch killings as "heinous crime", RSS today asked UPA Government not to hold talks with Pakistan during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to the US on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meet unless his counterpart Nawaz Sharif "shows" he enjoys control over his army.
"The Pakistan PM should show he enjoys control over his Army and only then should India venture into holding another round of talks with the Pakistani establishment," RSS spokesman Ram Madhav told PTI here.
Madhav said it was "absurd" to hold talks with Pakistan if its Army continues to kill Indian soldiers on Indian soil. "Let Pakistan do enough to convince people of India that they are serious about good relations," he said.

RSS was not against India holding dialogue with Pakistan, but doing so "by giving an impression of a weak and submissive power is not acceptable," Madhav said.
Madhav said the whole country was shocked at Defence Minister A K Antony's refusal to name Pakistan army as the perpetrators of the heinous crime of killing five Indian soldiers in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
"Instead, he (Antony) decided to give them (Pakistani Army) enough excuse to escape from the responsibility", by slamming the defence minister for stating that people wearing Pakistani uniforms were in the ambush squad,he said.
Madhav said Antony's remarks were "highly irresponsible" and showed the Congress-led UPA Government lacked in strength and courage of conviction in protecting the Indian Army and country's borders.
