Right step

India’s desire not to term Pakistan as a terrorist state is a reiteration of its international status as a mature, civilised, democratic world power among the comity of nations (“Centre not for terming Pakistan a ‘terror state’,” Feb.21). We respect and accept diplomatic relations according to the Geneva Conventions. At the same time, Pakistan is not a banana republic. There could be other civilised methods we can explore to tackle Pakistani terror. There is still some semblance of sentiment and reasonableness among military veterans of Pakistan. We need to look at this option too.
