Call off talks with Pakistan: Yashwant Sinha after Pathankot attack

BJP leader Yashwant Singh criticised the Modi government's policy on Pakistan and said on Tuesday that India should call off planned talks with the neighbouring state in wake of the Pathankot Terror attacks.
"From the beginning, I have been opposed to this kind of strategic dialogue with Pakistan as talks and terror cannot go together. The Government has changed its policy," Sinha, a former External Affairs Minister, said.
India and Pakistan are due to hold Foreign Secretary-level talks next week.
"What we are doing today is the same mistake as UPA government was doing. This is not the BJP policy. We are not in favour of any kind of talks and we should stop all talks with Pakistan," Sinha said.
Sinha noted that whenever the dialogue process is broken down, Pakistan has loudly demanded that the dialogue process be resumed.
"By having dialogue with India lends respectability to Pakistan so that it can then tell its friends like China and US and they will come forward to help it," he said.
The BJP leader said Pakistan is in danger of isolation if India would go to the international community and tells the world that it is not acting against those fomenting terror activities from Pakistan.
