Haryana stalking case: Vikas Barala fails to appear before police after summons

Former Union Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar said that dialogue between India and Pakistan is essential, arguing that people of the two countries share similar language, culture and mindset. He suggested that communication between Indians and Pakistanis is often easier because of these cultural connections. Aiyar also questioned India’s growing strategic closeness with countries like the United States and Israel while highlighting historical ties within the subcontinent before the Partition of India. Emphasising diplomacy, he said issues between the two neighbours should be addressed through sustained dialogue rather than confrontation. According to Aiyar, both sides should openly discuss grievances and concerns over time, arguing that continued engagement is necessary to resolve disputes and improve relations between the two countries.#manishankaraiyar #indiapakistan #indiapakistanrelations #diplomacy #indiapolitics #foreignpolicy
