PM 2 LAST

The Indian Prime Minister said not talking with Pakistan
would not solve any problem and dialogue was the only way
forward. "But for any meaningful talks, terrorism must end,"
he said.
Referring to his meetings with Pakistan President Asif Ali
Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani last year, Singh
said India has left Pakistan in no doubt that it must end
terrorism.
"Pakistan must take strong action against terrorism ...
Pakistan must fulfil its assurances of not allowing
territories under its control to be used for terrorism against
India," he asserted.
Taking on Advani for saying that US pressure was behind
India's decision to talk to Pakistan, Singh said any person
making such allegations would be doing a disservice to the
nation.
"I think we do a disservice to any government if we say
such fundamental policies are based on anything but on supreme
national interest," the Prime Minister said.
Making it clear that India did not want any foreign power
to get involved in mediatory efforts in South Asia, he said "I
would urge the opposition not to spread disinformation on
sensitive matters."
"Whatever our problems, we must learn to talk to each
other and to solve our problems in a peaceful manner using our
own creative genius," Singh said. PTI
