In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, BJP leader Ram Madhav clarifies the RSS position on engaging with Pakistan, saying the RSS General Secretary did not call for talks with Islamabad. Madhav says the statement was about being firm in dealing with Pakistan over terrorism, cross-border activities, weapons and narcotics.
Madhav argues that while people-to-people and sporting engagements may continue, there can be no meaningful government-level engagement as long as Pakistan continues to support and promote terrorism against India. Referring to Operation Sindoor, he says India's position remains unchanged: "Terror and talks cannot go together."
