Views of P.M. Atal Behari Vajpayee On Relationship with Pakistan


 

We want peace with Pakistan. That is why I visited Lahore in 1999. We took the initiative of starting a dialogue. Subsequently ... happened Kargil. Peaceful relations ... depends on Pakistan. Their inherent hostility towards India must end. The ... Pakistani establishment (feels) that it will benefit from being anti-India. This must end. The people of India want peace. So do the people of Pakistan ... Disguising terrorism as Jehad is unacceptable ... For resumption of dialogue, Pakistan must create the appropriate climate for meaningful talks, put an end to cross-border terrorism, honour bilateral agreements like the Shimla Agreement and the Lahore Declaration, and maintain the sanctity of the Line of Control.
