Jaipur: Former external affairs minister Salman Khurshid today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should clarify India's policy towards Pakistan.

"The prime minister has not clarified what policy the country is going to follow for Pakistan. If you want to engage in dialogue and establish friendly relations with Pakistan...whether or not was there was any difference in the message from India to Pakistan after the Pathankot attack," Mr Khurshid said.

The Congress leader was speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing Jaipur Literature Festival in Jaipur.

"The dialogue must continue," he said.

Over the issue of "intolerance," the Centre should "look at ground realities".
