India Pakistan Relations Are Worsening, Thanks to Imran Khan's Statements

The Quint  

Khan should, therefore, pay attention to his country’s descent into fundamentalist barbarism instead of pointing fingers at others. He can, however, be hardly expected to do so though because Pakistan has used extremists and terrorists to pursue its foreign policy agendas against India and in Afghanistan. Khan’s return to diatribe against the RSS and Hindutva support this assessment; in the middle of this year he had pressed the pause button on his fulminations against the Sangh Parivar. Khan also asserted in his ISSI speech that India-Pakistan talks are not possible because of the BJP government’s “religious nationalism”.
