New Delhi, May 27 (PTI): Telling Pakistan that the path to peace is a “two-way street”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Islamabad needs to remove the “self-imposed” obstacle of terrorism which is coming in the way of Indo-Pak friendship.
Modi also asked Pakistan to play its part by putting a complete stop to any kind of support to terrorism – “whether state or non-state”. “In my view, our ties can truly scale great heights once Pakistan removes the self-imposed obstacle of terrorism in the path of our relationship.
“We are ready to take the first step, but the path to peace is a two-way street,” Modi told The Wall Street Journal, in comments posted on its website today. He said he has always maintained that instead of fighting with each other, India and Pakistan should together fight against poverty.
