<b>Letters:</b> Stalled dialogue

Business Standard New Delhi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shown the inclination for resumption of talks with Pakistan, which has come close on the heels of Pakistan asking the US President Barack Obama to put pressure on India to resume a dialogue. The Indo-Pak dialogue that should have taken place on August 25, 2014, was stalled since Pakistan held confabulations with separatists, much against the wishes of India. Pakistan was solely responsible for the stalled dialogue. Therefore, the initiative should have come from Pakistan, while agreeing to the condition that it would not involve separatists overtly or covertly. There is no point in India expressing her willingness for resumption of dialogue without Pakistan creating a conductive atmosphere.
