New Delhi: After the inauguration of Kartarpur Corridor, will there be a dialogue between India and Pakistan again. In response to this question, the Indian Foreign Ministry has clearly said that there is no possibility of talks with Pakistan at present. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ravish Kumar said on the question of ZEE Media, ‘India has never said that it will not talk to Pakistan. What we are saying is that the terrorists who have been kept by Pakistan should eliminate them and show concrete action against them only then talks can take place.
Raveesh Kumar, MEA: We are aware that there is bilateral document which has been signed between India&Pakistan which clearly specifies the document to be carried by the pilgrims.

Foreign Ministry spokesman said, ‘We never said that the path of peace with Pakistan is through the Kartarpur corridor. This is religious activities. This is not a bilateral conversation. The matter will be when Pakistan will take action against terrorist forces, it is not going to make any difference with the Kartarpur corridor. There is no possibility of talks with Pakistan at present.

Ravish Kumar said, ‘Confusion is coming out of Pakistan on Kartarpur corridor. Both of us signed a bilateral form and no one country can make any change in it. In it it is written that if passport is required then the passengers will have to take the passport. Those who go after 9th and after that they will go according to the same agreement
Pakistan will have to confirm the list 4 days in advance. Whatever name we have given is confirmed. Pakistan has not done it yet, so we are assuming that the names we sent are sure. We have requested them that suitable arrangements should be made for the safety of our important dignitaries who are going.
