In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Foreign Minister SM Krishna said that India will continue to talk to Pakistan but there's no guarantee that the composite dialogue is going to be resumed.

Krishna reiterated that Pakistan needs to make constructive efforts on bringing the perpetrators of 26/11 to justice before any dialogue can be resumed.

Krishna also said that there won't be a reversal on Sharm-el-Sheikh.

"India is very particular about Pak's action in 26/11 case. Pakistan has enough evidence; it is now for them to act," he said.

Giving details about the minister-level talks in New York on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit, Krishna said that Pakistan did not raise Balochistan issue in New York talks.

Meanwhile, Krishna also said that China should not object to the Dalai Lama's visit to Arunachal Pradesh.

Krishna said, "The Dalai Lama is a spiritual leader and can travel wherever he wants within India as long as he does not make political statements."

He also said that the Dalai Lama will not be stopped from going to Arunachal.

Speaking on the issue of Tibet, Krishna said, "Our position on Tibet is clear; it is a part of China."

The Foreign Minister also spoke on the boundary issue with China. He said, "There is no increased activity along the LAC with China," but further added that 'overlapping' of positions along LAC is due to boundary dispute.
