Singh's remarks on terror attacks were uncalled for: Pak

Karachi, Aug 17 (PTI) Pakistan Monday said India Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh's remarks about terror groups planning
fresh attacks on India from Pakistani soil were uncalled for
as the two countries were progressing towards better
relations.

"I think (Singh's) statement was uncalled for and it
would have been better if he had not made such a statement
because Pakistan and India are moving towards better
relations, especially after the meetings (between the Indian
premier and President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister
Yousuf Raza Gilani)," Minister of State for Information Sumsam
Ali Bukhari said.

"As Pakistanis, we would not want any problems to occur
anywhere. We are ourselves victims of terrorism," Bukhari told
reporters in this southern port city in response to a question
about Singh's remarks.

Pakistan wants to work with the world in tackling
terrorism and militancy, he said.

"Whether it is our neighbours or distant countries, we
want peace in the whole world. Islam is a religion of peace
and gives a message of peace," he added.

Earlier in the day, Singh said terror groups in Pakistan
are planning fresh attacks in India.

Addressing a conference on internal security in New
Delhi, Singh said "there is credible information of ongoing
plans of terrorist groups in Pakistan to carry out fresh
attacks." PTI RHL
