Jaishankar rejects Imran Khan’s call for conditional talks on Kashmir

India’s foreign minister S. Jaishankar has rejected Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s recent call for conditional talks over the Kashmir dispute and said that security restrictions imposed in Kashmir since last month ahead of New Delhi revoking special status for Jammu and Kashmir provided in the Constitution could be eased in the “coming days".

In an interview with Politico newspaper in Brussels, Jaishankar said he had not read a New York Times op-ed piece by Khan in which the latter had sought conditional dialogue between Islamabad and New Delhi but said that India would not be able to think of dialogue when Pakistan “openly practices terrorism".
