India said on Thursday that it desired normal relations with all its neighbours, including Pakistan, and advised Islamabad to create a conducive atmosphere, including by taking “credible, verifiable and irreversible actions” to stop cross-border terrorism against it and enable the two countries to engage and address issues bilaterally. Junior minister for external affairs Meenakashi Lekhi described Pakistan as the “global epicentre of terrorism”.
