Pak uses terrorism as legitimate tool of statecraft: S Jaishankar

India Today  

Hitting out at Pakistan, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said India cannot talk to a very challenging neighbour that conducts terrorism as a "legitimate tool of statecraft" to put pressure on New Delhi to come to the negotiating table. Responding to a question on why the two countries have stopped playing cricket, Jaishankar said, "it's very difficult in real life to separate issues." And, unfortunately, that's the message I would give if I were to follow this one (allow cricket matches between India and Pakistan," he said. Pakistan has been trying to internationalise the Kashmir issue after India withdrew the special status, but New Delhi has asserted the abrogation of Article 370 was its "internal matter".
