- India wants peaceful, cooperative relations with Pakistan.
- Pakistan can't be allowed to ignore, bypass or undermine any earlier agreement, whether signed in Shimla, Lahore or elsewhere.
- No unlawful infiltration of men, narcotics or arms will be allowed. This is a prerequisite for any substantial dialogue.
- No nuclear blackmail will be tolerated.
- Any attempt to disrupt the communal situation in India will not only be resisted but will be met with a heavy hand.
