LONDON, JAN 20: India has ruled out a dialogue with Pakistan till Islamabad created a proper environment by adjuring violence, giving up encouragement to cross-border terrorism and ending the daily cry of jihad against it."These are not preconditions, these are essential integrals for the creation of a proper environment," External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh said last night on BBC World TV's 'Asia Today' programme."We will remain committed to dialogue and reconciliation, but it is obvious that, for this, not as a precondition but as an integral of the dialogue process itself, a proper environment be created," Singh said. He said Pakistan has to recognise that this compulsive hostility that it demonstrates towards India must cease.
