NEW DELHI: Indian government on Sunday said Pakistan is continuing to
harbour terrorists on its soil and despite repeated requests it has
taken no steps to dismantle the terror infrastructure there.
"We
have been taking up (the issue) with Pakistan. We have taken (it) up
with Pakistan in various forums bilateral as well as multilateral
forums. But unfortunately, it has had no effect on the ground," Union
Home Secretary R K Singh told reporters here.
He was replying to questions on whether Pakistan has been taking action to stop cross-border terrorism.
"Though
they (Pakistan) keep telling us that they do not encourage terrorists
or that they do not encourage people from operating from their soil, on
the ground there has been no difference," he said.
Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh had recently said that there were reports of
cross-border camps being reactivated and attempts being made to induct
fresh batches of militants into the country. Online
