BJP president Amit Shah Friday slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for not condemning the Pulwama terror attack and asked how India can trust him.

Speaking at the India Today conclave here, Shah said the Modi government has been able to create "fear" among those behind terrorism with its actions against Pakistan-based terrorists, and asserted a message has gone that India is no longer ruled by a dispensation that was at the helm between 2004-14, referring to the Congress-led UPA.

Asked about Khan's offer for talks with India, the BJP chief said, "He does not have two words of condemnation that the incident (Pulwama attack) was wrong. He should condemn it. How can we trust you. What are you talking?"
In his brief reference to the Pulwama incident in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed in a terror attack, Khan had said on Wednesday, "We know how the families of those killed in Pulwama incident must have felt. We have been the victims of war for decades."
