After we achieve stability, we have to find a way of communicating,” he said.India has always felt that conversations must be bilateral and direct, and a third party should not be involved in that conversation. “So whatever the government’s view and the position it takes, consistent with what we have done for a long time over the years, we will get to know after we achieve stability,” the Congress leader said.India and Pakistan on Saturday reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea, with immediate effect after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes that brought the two countries teetering on the edge of full-scale war.
