Talks with Pakistan have had no effect in curbing terror: India

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
