Below is the quote from Sameer Patil;
Sameer Patil, a security analyst at Mumbai-based think-tank Gateway House, said that by choosing to defer talks, India had sent a clear message to Pakistan that the latter was required to take sustained action against terror groups operating from its soil.
“Cross-border terrorism is a huge emotional issue in India. Therefore, it will be difficult for any government in India to pursue talks, when incidents like the Pathankot attack keep occurring,” Patil told BenarNews.
“India would like to see if the action reportedly taken by Pakistan against suspects of the Pathankot assault will sustain over a period of time or it turns out to be a superficial action to mislead the global community that Pakistan has acted against suspects and India should go ahead with dialogue,” he added.
