“Congress has always stood for good bilateral relationship and solution of all problems through talks but in view of grave provocations and emerging incontrovertible evidence, the PM must spell out contours of talks with Pakistan and what action he would seek from his Pakistani counterpart,” party chief spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala said.

The Congress has been consistently attacking the BJP-led NDA government over its “failure” to take the promised “action” against Pakistan over ceasefire violations and terror attacks.
