News X: If Obama cancelled talks with Putin, why not India with Pak?

NewsX: While Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha would not be drawn out on the UPA government's position on talks with Pakistan in the light of the killing of five Indian soldiers along the Line of Control, But India should be watchful until the new Nawaz Sharif government can prove it can deliver.

G Parthasarathy, former Indian ambassador to Pakistan, made clear there was a distinction between the compostive dialogue process and engagement. In light of the killings, he argued that political level talks were "totally unwarranted", but other diplomatic channels, such as the use of special envoys, should go on.

Speaking for the BJP, Seetharaman said when Sharif was elected, they expressed a a cautious optimism but they don't know who is really in control of Pakistan. Given the violation of the cease fire and Pakistan's denial of the incident, they do not believe the current environment is conducive for high level engagements between the Prime Ministers of both countries. However, engagement between the two countries should not come to a complete halt.
