Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today said India is ready to start dialogue with Pakistan if the neighbouring country stops sponsoring terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Mr Singh made the comment at an election rally in the Union Territory's Ramban district. The BJP has fielded Mohd Saleem Bhat from the Banihal seat in this district.
"If Pakistan do one thing, that is stop giving support to terrorism, who would not like to improve relations with neighbouring countries? Because I know the reality that you can change a friend, but not your neighbour. We want improved relations with Pakistan, but first of all they should stop terrorism," Mr Singh said at a rally in Banihal.
