Dialogue with Pakistan will be only on PoK, says Rajnath

Dialogue with Pakistan will be only on PoK, says Rajnath

Kalka, Aug 18 (UNI) Amid tensions with Pakistan over the scrapping of special status of Jammu and Kashmir, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday asserted that dialogue with Pakistan was not possible till the neighbouring country stops sponsoring terrorism and if any bilateral talks were to happen, it will be on the issue of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Addressing a public meeting ahead of flagging off the BJP's Jan Ashirwad rally here, the Union Minister said, "India will not initiate any dialogue with Pakistan till the neighbouring country stops aiding and abetting terrorism. If any talks are held with Pakistan they will be only on Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and not on any other issue."
Regarding the revocation of Article 370, the Union Minister said that the step has been taken for the development of the state. "Pakistan has been badly stung by this step and is knocking on the door of other countries but not getting any support from these countries in this matter," he said.
