Pampore attack - Our govt's Pakistan policy has completely failed: Yashwant Sinha
He called the attack a war-like situation if reports of Pakistani s being involved were correct.
Senior BJP leader and former Foreign Minister Yashwant Sinha on Sunday again criticised the Modi government for engaging Pakistan in peace talk, in view of the recent Pampore attacks.
"If it is true that the two terrorists killed yesterday were Pakistanis, then it is clear that it is a war-like situation between India-Pakistan.
"With great sadness, I would like to say that our government's Pakistan policy has completely failed. The sooner we stop pursuing this kind of policy towards Pakistan the better," said the veteran politician.
Sinha also said that he was against India's bid for NSG membership. "Would like to say strongly that India must not accept NSG membership, there is no need to go there as an applicant. If today we get the NSG membership, we will be the 'loser'. It will be a loss for us, no benefit," he said.
"Indian Govt is being regularly misguided by some people sitting in the Govt (on entry into NSG)," he added.
Sinha had earlier too disapproved India-Pakistan peace process. He wanted the NSA talks between the nations to be called off.
"From the time of Vajpayee government it has been our policy that terror and talks cannot go together. This is the consistent policy of BJP as well....The talks should be called off," he had said
He had also taken a jibe against PM Modi saying PMs after Vajpayee have cherished the thought of getting Nobel Peace Award by resolving Indo-Pak dispute.
