Jaishankar's tough talk on Pakistan: 'Era of uninterrupted talks is over'

Delivering a stern message on India's stance towards Pakistan, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar declared that the era of "uninterrupted dialogue” is over.

He stated that "actions have consequences," in an obvious reference to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, reaffirming New Delhi's firmly held position that terror and talks cannot go together.

"The era of uninterrupted dialogue with Pakistan is over. Actions have consequences," Jaishankar said while issuing a stern warning to Pakistan and those who support terror attacks on India. He was speaking at a book launch event in the Capital on Friday.

"The issue is... what kind of relationship can we contemplate with Pakistan..." he said while responding to a question about ties with Pakistan.
