PM-PAK 2

"Extremism and terrorism are major threats not only to
India, but also to Pakistan, and all its other neighbours. It
is in our collective interest that we resolutely oppose,
resist and overcome terrorism and all those who nurture,
sustain and give sanctuary to terrorists and extremist
elements," Singh said.

Asked how the Kashmir issue be solved once and for all,
the Prime Minister said India was "ready to discuss all issues
with them (Pakistan) in an atmosphere free from terrorism."
He noted that Jammu and Kashmir and its people have
repeatedly suffered due to terrorism from across the border.
"This has militated against the will of the people of the
state, who have time and again voted in large numbers in
democratic elections to unambiguously reject violence," he
said.
Singh said the government has taken several measures for
the development of Jammu and Kashmir, and for its people to
live in peace and harmony, as in the rest of the country.
The government's decision to have Foreign Secretary-level
talks with Pakistan after a 14-month break caused by the
Mumbai terror strike has come under sharp attack from the
Opposition BJP. (MORE) PTI MS
