Call off talks with Pakistan, demands BJP


New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS): The BJP Thursday said the government should cancel bilateral talks with Pakistan following the terror attacks in the morning in Jammu that killed 12 people.

"I strongly condemn the terrorist attack on police and security forces in Jammu. The terrorists have attacked India almost at will," Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh said in a tweet.

"The PM is in a hurry to start dialogue with Pakistan. There should be no talks with Pakistan unless there is a conducive environment," he said.

A meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistani Premier Nawaz Sharif is likely Sep 29 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

Senior party leaders M. Venkaiah Naidu and Yashwant Sinha also spoke on similar lines.

"The BJP feels prime minister should give up his proposed meeting with Pakistani prime minister to convey to Pakistan and also the international community that terror and talks cannot go together," Naidu told TV channels.

Yashwant Sinha called the Pakistani government "crippled".

"Some people say this has happened because the terrorists want to derail talks. My point is who are these terrorists and who are behind these terrorists? These attacks always happen with the backing of the Pakistan Army," Sinha told Times Now.

"What is the point in talking to a government which is so crippled? Therefore, I say call off the bilateral talks."

Militants Thursday morning attacked a police station in Jammu region and commandeered a truck which they drove into an army camp. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said 12 people were killed in the twin attack.
