RSS Leader Advocates Firm Response to Pakistan Terrorism, Supports Dialogue and People-to-People Contact

RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale emphasized the need for India to respond firmly to Pakistan's support of cross-border terrorism while keeping dialogue channels open. He highlighted the importance of maintaining diplomatic relations, trade, and visa issuance to facilitate communication. Hosabale advocated for increased people-to-people contact, involving civil society such as academicians and sportspersons, as political and military trust between the countries remains low. He cited past efforts by leaders like Atal Bihari Vajpayee as examples of engagement.
