Sunil Bharti Mittal, chairman and group CEO of Bharti Enterprises and immediate past president of Confederation of Indian Industries, Tuesday said is time for the United States to change its position towards India vis-a-vis Pakistan.
Addressing a panel at the Asia Society here on the need for greater Indo-US relations, Mittal said that India
currently surrounded by conflicts in its region. "The situation in Pakistan is getting hugely alarming for us. We had General Musharraf (former Pakistan President) visiting India last week and I really did not get any hope (of
improved Indo-Pak relations) from what he said,' Mittal said in a marked departure from business talks.
'America has a huge role to play there. The obsession that Pakistan has (with) India needs to be torn down and only
US can help (do that) because Pakistan thankfully still listens to the US,' Mittal said.
