[DAWN] Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asked Pakistain to "walk away from terror" if it wants to establish amicable relations with India, The Indian Express reported. Modi was speaking at the inauguration of the second edition of the Raisina Dialogue, an annual conference held in New Delhi, envisioned to be India's flagship conference on geopolitics and geo-economics. In his speech, he said if Pakistain wants to build a relationship with India and have a dialogue, it must distance itself from "terror activities". "Those in our neighbours who support violence, hatred and export terror stand isolated and ignored," Modi said. The Indian premier said he extended an invitation to all members of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), including Pakistain, around the time he assumed office. "I had also travelled to Lahore but India alone cannot walk the path of peace," the Indian premier added. |
