Thimphu, April 28: In an apparent bid to drive a wedge between Indian government and the ruling party, Pakistan has said that “well-meaning” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was keen to normalise ties with it but “elements in Congress” did not support him.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi criticised India for refusing to have “meaningful” talks till Pakistan acts against terrorism, saying the contention had been “dragged too long” and “nobody is buying that anymore”.
In an interview to PTI here, he insisted that Pakistan has moved “considerably” against perpetrators of Mumbai attacks and the reply to India’s dossiers recently was “not to gain time” but to get additional information so that the case can be taken to its logical conclusion.
Dialogue “is the only sensible thing to do.
