In a bid to restore normalcy across Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that India is not against holding talks with Pakistan but the neighbouring country should also take some initiative and indicate its intent by jointly acting against terrorists and by stopping infiltration attempts.
The Home Minister asserted,“If Pakistan is ready to talk, why won’t we talk? We want to have good relations with our neighbour. But even the neighbour will have to take some initiative. Pakistan is firing at our borders, indulging in ceasefire violations. It is trying to infiltrate terrorists. It is not mending its ways. But it will have to (mend its ways) one day,” Singh said in an interview.
