Indo-Pak talks: Govt is "not very optimistic"

New Delhi: Just a day ahead of the Indo-Pak talks, speaking at NDTV's Indian of the Year event, Home Minister P Chidambaram said that India will be going to the table without a pre-set agenda and that India wants Pakistan to act against terror.

"Glad we're beginning a debate here. It should happen in the Parliament. We haven't changed our stand. The Foreign Secretary will make this. But how long can you say, this is my stand and I won't move at all," said Chidambaram.

"We can't change neighbours. We haven't suspended commerce, travel, pulled out of SAARC. Nothing may come out of the talks, but at least we have to make the effort and address the issues which need urgency," he added.
