PAK MUST STOP TERROR FOR TALKS: RAJNATH

- NARENDRA PULLOOR | DC

Union home minister Rajnath Singh said there would be no talks with Pakistan as long as it tries to destabilis­e India by pushing in terrorists.

Speaking at a public meeting at the Polytechni­c College Ground here to mark Telangana Liberation Day, Mr Singh said some people were suggesting that India should engage in talks with Pakistan.

“We are ready to talk to anyone. But Pakistan is unable to understand this. Till Pakistan does not stop its attempts to destabilis­e and weaken India by encouragin­g cross-border terrorism, holding talks with it has no meaning.”

Union home minister Rajnath Singh said there would be no talks with Pakistan as long as it tries to destabilis­e India by pushing in terrorists.

“The government is determined to stop all sorts of destabilis­ing activities in the country, he said, and alleged that Pakistan is violating ceasefire agreements.

Mr Singh said the Congress regime had witnessed huge scams but the Narendra Modiled government had not faced a single corruption charge in the last three years.

Mr Singh appreciate­d the party’s Telangana state leaders for celebratin­g Liberation Day for the last two decades.

He said the period between August 15, 1947, and September 17, 1948, was “a black chapter in the Indian history” as some parts had remained under the Nizam’s rule even after Independen­ce.

While Sardar Vallabhbha­i Patel achieved political unificatio­n, Dr B.R. Ambedkar achieved social and constituti­onal unity, he said.

“Today, we have to take a pledge that we will ensure that the country will not be divided on the lines of community, caste and language,” he said. Hyderabad: A 32minute documentar­y, Tragedy of Hyderabad,
