New Delhi: Calling terrorism as the prime issue between India and Pakistan, Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar on Wednesday said Pakistan is the only nation who has double opinions on terrorism.

Addressing at the Foreign Correspondents Club, he said-

  • Problem is that the terrorism issue has become so central to the relationship that it makes the relationship difficult to grow.
  • We have one standout country in the region which has a different view of terrorism which makes it a difficult partner for all of us.
  • Pakistan is using terror as an instrument of diplomatic policy.

He said India has done all possible efforts to maintain amity with the Pakistan.

He also criticized Pakistan’s disinterest in the Pathankot terror attack probe.

Attacking Pakistan, Jaishankar said it is because of our neighbour nation we are failing in raising some important developmental issues to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).
