Pakistan has nothing to fear from India: Manmohan Singh

Lalit K Jha
Washington, Nov 20 (PTI) Terming as "tragic," Pakistan's
use of terror as state policy, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh has said India is ready to resolve all outstanding
issues with the country on the condition that it will not
allow its territory to be used against its neighbour.

In an interview to the Washington Post ahead of his state
visit to the US, Singh said India has been a victim of
Pakistan-aided terrorism, and intelligence reports still
suggest that terrorists based in that country are planning
attacks in India similar to last year's Mumbai carnage.
"Every day I receive intelligence reports saying that
terrorists based in Pakistan are planning other similar acts,"
Singh said in the interview that would be carried in the
daily's print edition on Sunday – the day of his arrival here.
He, however, asserted that Pakistan has "nothing to fear"
from India, and it was a "tragedy" that Pakistan has come to
the point of using terror "as an instrument of state policy".
"We are committed to resolve all the outstanding issues
with Pakistan through bilateral negotiations. Our only
condition is that Pakistan should not allow its territory to
be used for acts of terrorism against India.
"If Pakistan really honours that commitment, we can go
back to negotiation to resolve all outstanding issues between
us," he said. (MORE) PTI LKJ
