Pakistan's envoy to India Abdul Basit on Monday said that war is not a solution between the two countries and bilateral issues can be resolved only through talks.
India on Wednesday said the country wants to maintain good relations with all its neighbours, including Pakistan, but not at the cost of its "pride, dignity and self-respect" and that it would not compromise with its security at any cost.
Pakistani authorities have arrested some members of a group that is suspected to be behind the recent attack on an Indian airbase, officials said Wednesday.
The India-Pakistan foreign secretary talks, scheduled in Islamabad on January 15, seem uncertain. Even as national security adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval courted controversy by purportedly indicating that the talks may be called off, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif quickly set up an inter-agency investigation team to probe the leads India provided it regarding the perpetrators of the Pathankot attack.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Tuesday called his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, promising "prompt and decisive action" against possible Pakistan-based perpetrators of the attack upon Pathankot airbase last weekend.
