A month after Kashmir attacks, Indian PM rules out talks with Pakistan

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while speaking at a public rally on Thursday in Bikaner, Rajasthan, ruled out any talks with Islamabad.

He vowed to make Pakistan's economy and military pay for any aggression on Indian soil, as tensions between the South Asian neighbors remain high a month after deadly attacks in Kashmir.

He warned that "playing with the blood of Indians will cost Pakistan dearly."

"There will be no trade or talks with Pakistan. For every terrorist attack, Pakistan will have to pay a high cost. And this cost will be paid by the country's military and their economy," he said.

The prime minister sent a strong message to Pakistan on terrorism. He said that if Islamabad continues to "export terrorists, it will be left begging for every penny."

He reaffirmed that Pakistan will not take water from India's rivers, reiterating the decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty.

"Pakistan will not take a single drop of water belonging to India. Playing with the blood of Indians will cost Pakistan dearly. This is India's resolve and no one in the world can discourage us from this commitment," he declared.

The two nuclear-armed countries came close to full-scale war earlier this month, engaging in military strikes before a shaky ceasefire was agreed. Trade remains suspended and diplomatic ties are highly strained.

The conflict erupted after gunmen opened fire on tourists in Kashmir on April 22, killing up to 26 people in one of the worst attacks on civilians in the disputed region. New Delhi called the massacre an act of terrorism orchestrated by Pakistan. Leaders in Islamabad have denied involvement.

Both nations are also trying to win over world opinion by sending separate delegations to all countries to present their respective positions.
