Meanwhile Jaitley warns Pakistan
Pakistan should draw a red line whether it wants to talk to the gover-nment of India or those who want to break India, defence minister Arun Jaitley said on Wednesday, asking it to make a “conscious” choice without which a dialogue is not possible.
India, he said, was “rea-dy to speak to Paki-stan” and is “willing to normalise the relationship” but “then there are a few red lines”.
“We create the environment, we fix up a dialogue at the foreign secretaries level, and literally a few hours before that they invite the separatists for a dialogue to their High Commission in New Delhi. I think a new red line has to be drawn in Pakistan to reconsider this question that who they want to speak to.”
