The BJP’s PM candidate, Narendra Modi, ruled out having talks with nuclear neighbour Pakistan as long as acts of terror from across the border continued.
“Do you think it is possible to have a discussion amidst the deafening noise of bomb blasts and gunshots? So, to have a reasonable discussion, first the blasts and gunshots have to stop,” he told TV channel Times Now in an interview aired on Thursday.
He said Parliament held a unanimous view on the issue of export of terror from Pakistan, and no party had the authority to challenge this opinion. But Modi said, “If a country looks strong, even its companions will change, neighbours will change and the atmosphere will change.”
