New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S M Krishna rest speculation that the government was contemplating the resumption of talks with Pakistan in the near future. He said that until Pakistan took tangible measures to prevent terrorism directed against this country, there is no such possibility.
The Hafiz Saeed incident showed how serious Pakistan is against terrorism, said Krishna.
Unless Pakistan dismantles the terror infrastructure, talks are not possible he added.
"Not unless they (Pakistan) take concrete measures to prevent terrorist attacks emanating from the soil of Pakistan aimed against India (can talks resume)," External Affairs Minister SM Krishna told reporters outside Parliament House when asked whether there was any move to resume the dialogue with Islamabad.
The recent release of Jamaat-ud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed by a court in Lahore clearly indicated that Pakistan was not serious about acting against terror.
The India-Pakistan peace process has been frozen in the wake of the 26/11 Mumbai carnage that New Delhi blames on elements operating from across the border. India says Saeed was the mastermind behind the 26/11 Mumbai attacks that claimed over 170 lives, including those of 26 foreigners.
