VIDEO | Mumbai: On RSS leader Dattatreya Hosabale advocating window of dialogue with Pakistan to be kept open, Former Army chief Gen MM Naravane (@ManojNaravane) says, “One important point is that people-to-people connections and contacts are extremely important. Ordinary people live on both sides of the border, and common people everywhere have the same concerns, food, clothing, shelter, and daily life. Ordinary citizens generally do not have much to do with politics. When friendship develops between the people of two countries, it naturally helps improve relations between the countries themselves. That is why I said earlier that people-to-people contact, whether through Track-II diplomacy or through sporting events, is very important…One thing is very clear, and we have always maintained this: whatever differences exist between two countries should always be resolved through discussion and dialogue. However, that does not mean we cannot use military force if necessary. India is a country that believes in speaking the language of peace, but if the need arises, we will not hesitate to use our strength and capabilities as well.” (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)
