India's pre-condition for resumption of dialogue is a step backwards, Pakistan said reacting to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement.
Pakistan has said that it is cooperating in the 26/11 investigations.
The Prime Minister on Friday delivered a blunt and tough message to Pakistan saying that that there is no question of resuming talks with Pakistan till it punishes the perpetrators of 26/11.
"We have always said that we are willing to discuss all outstanding issues, but let me say that these relations and discussions cannot proceed if hundreds of people, as happened in Mumbai, are being killed. Therefore, Pakistan has that opportunity to ensure to the world that it is absolutely sincere in its statements that its territory won't be used for terror acts directed against India. This is the minimum for any discussions between India and Pakistan," Manmohan Singh said.
The Prime Minister also made it clear in tough language to President Obama and Pakistan in tough language there won't be no talks with Islamabad till it brings the 26/11 perpetrators to justice.
The Prime Minister had his first meeting with the US President Barack Obama at G20 summit in London, following which he gave the statement.
