Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former Indian external affairs minister Yashwant Sinha has criticised India’s recent peace dialogue with Pakistan, saying terrorism and talks cannot go together. “Pakistan has to abide by the commitment it made to the then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in January 2004, that it would stop sponsoring terrorism across India only then there would be talks,” Sinha said. He was speaking to a small group of Indian Americans at an event organised by the Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies, a Washington-based Indian-American think-tank.
