Nawaz Sharif govt an 'army-ISI puppet': Subramanian Swamy

New York, Aug 21: BJP leader Subramanian Swamy today described the Nawaz Sharif government in Pakistan as an "army-ISI puppet" which cannot deliver on any agreement with India.

Reacting to the Indo-Pak bickerings over NSA-level talks scheduled for Monday next, Swamy said here that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should cancel the talks.

India today asserted that it sticks to the commitment between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif in Ufa to engage in a substantive discussion on terrorism.

Speaking at an event here, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said, "We are firm on our stand that whatever talks, dialogue are held with Pakistan, that should only and only be on terrorism."

He also said that talks and terrorism can never go together. The Home Minister said India's intentions are clear to have dialogue with Pakistan, but that should be only on terrorism.
