Peace on LoC first step towards normalising Indo-Pak ties, says PM

He was responding when he was asked whether he felt things were still not at the stage where there can be “business as usual” with Pakistan, as he had said after the beheading of an Indian soldier on the LoC by the Pakistan Army.

Singh said he had useful talks with Sharif in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

During the meeting, Singh clearly told Sharif that ending violations of the ceasefire on the LoC is a pre-condition for taking the relationship forward.

He also raised the issue of continued terrorism emanating from Pakistan during the hour-long meeting.
