Cornered and defeated by India’s befitting response diplomatically and to ceasefire violations, says ‘Conditions not conducive for talks with India’. Dialogue between Pakistan and India has been suspended since 2013 due to Pakistan’s use of terrorism against India. Pakistan has been Grey listed by the global terror financing watchdog FATF for breeding state-sponsored terrorism.

“As far as dialogue is concerned, my honest opinion is that I don’t see the atmosphere for talks,” Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told reporters on Friday.

He said some people desired talks to happen, but the situation in India-occupied Kashmir did not allow that. “Some people wish that [dialogue] to happen and some people keep dropping such hints”.

The foreign minister said any such dialogue would not be productive. “It would be equal to holding talks for sake of talks. We don’t think that way,”
