On the eve of Pakistan Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf’s visit, India on Friday said there could not be normalisation of ties with Islamabad unless the terror machine still active there was brought under control.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said India had made sincere efforts to normalise its relations with Pakistan and had achieved some progress.
“People-to-people contacts have gone up, trade relations have shown improvement,” Dr Singh said in the Rajya Sabha replying to a debate on Motion of Thanks to the President’s address.
“But there cannot be normalisation of relations between our two countries unless and until the terror machine which is still active in Pakistan is brought under control,” he said.
The PM said this had been his government’s policy for the past nine years and would continue in the coming times. His remarks come ahead of his Pakistani counterpart’s visit to India on Saturday.
Ashraf, during a daylong visit, is scheduled to offer prayers at the famous shrine of Sufi saint Moinuddin Chisti in Ajmer. External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid will host a lunch in his honour at Jaipur, but no “substantive talks” are expected to take place. Ashraf’s visit comes at a time when there is a chill in bilateral ties over the ceasefire violations along the Line of Control in Kashmir. An Indian soldier was allegedly beheaded by Pakistani troops while the mutilated body of another was found in January.
No need to have any relationship with this rogue state called Pakistan. whole world is sick and tired of it. Overclever, foolishly arrogant and criminal minded people.

Manmohan was handed proves of Indian terrorism in Sharmul Sheikh and he accepted that when he went home he got his ass kicked then he turned arround. Indians have provided alot of rhetoric but no proves. In india their mind set is make alot of noise untill world thinks that you are right. Recent statements of hagel and shindey are solid proof of that. But indians are suffering from slective dimentia they conviniently forget these things.
hagel and shindey jo bole that is right….but all others who have been saying pakistan a terrorist country is wrong…u people ….ufff…..hypocrites of 1 st order….are all muslims like that??
India should withdraw from line of control to Bharat, then all problems solved.
