| BJP questions "reversal" of policy towards Pakistan | | | Agencies
New Delhi July 17
"Surprised" by India-Pakistan joint statement that action on terrorism should not be linked with the composite dialogue, BJP on Friday asked the government what "prompted" it to change stance towards Islamabad.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Rajya Sabha, Leader of Opposition Arun Jaitley said the joint statement at Sharm-el-Sheikh in Egypt that "action on terrorism should not be linked to the composite duologue process and these should not be bracketed" has come as a "surprise and also disappointment".
He said this was a "reversal of India's long standing policy" that as long as cross-border terrorism, state sponsored terrorism and terrorism emanating from Pakistani soil continue, there would not be any dialogue.
Jaitley wanted the government to make a statement on the issue demanding full discussion.
