Lahore attack proves terror activities unchecked in Pak:India

New Delhi, Mar 30 (PTI) India Monday said the attack
near Lahore proved once again that terrorist activities have
been continuing unchecked in Pakistan but refused to draw a
parallel between the incident and the Mumbai strikes.

"I am shocked. It once again proves that terrorism has
not been eliminated in Pakistan and was rather continuing
unabated," External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee told
reporters after a poll rally in Murshidabad district of West
Bengal.

Home Minister P Chidambaram said India was deeply
concerned over the development. "We condemn these terrorist
attacks. We condemn all terrorist attacks," he told reporters
here when asked to comment on terrorists storming a police
training centre near Lahore.

Asked whether he saw any parallel between the Lahore
incident and the Mumbai attacks, he replied in negative.

"But, the commonality is these are terrorist attacks.
The difference is that in Mumbai the source of terrorist
attack was Pakistani soil. In the case of (Lahore) attack we
do not know who is behind it," he said.

Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma
said, "Pakistan will have to continue dismantling the terror
infrastructure on its soil which is a threat to several
countries".

India was shocked and saddened at the attack on the
police academy, Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon said but
refused to hazard a guess at this stage on who was responsible
for it. PTI TEAM
