BJP on Saturday said the resumed dialogue with Pakistan cannot be revoked due to one attack and accused Congress of politicising the Pathankot terror incident.
Talking to media in New Delhi, party leader and Union Minister Prakash Javadekar batted for the continuation of talks with the neighbouring country, saying if there will be no talks on terror then it will not come down.
After Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Lahore initiative, Mr Javadekar also said the onus is on Pakistan to follow the solemn promise given to India in 2004 that it will not allow its land to be used for terrorism.
He said, Pakistan will have to walk the talk on the issue of terrorism. He supported Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s assertion that India wanted friendship with Pakistan but will forcefully respond to any act of terrorism.
