PM-PAK 2

Noting that India has been a victim of "Pakistan-aided
-abetted and -inspired terrorism for nearly 25 years," Singh
said India wanted the US to use all its influence with
Pakistan to ask it desist from that path.

Asked about actions being taken by Pakistan to bring to
book those involved in the Mumbai terror attack, the Prime
Minister said they have not done enough.
"As far as perpetrators of the Mumbai massacre are
concerned, (Pakistan) has taken some steps but not enough," he
said.
Singh also expressed concern about the rise of terrorism
in Pakistan and said terrorists' increasing grip over several
parts of the country was a threat to India's security as well.
"Now if the Taliban and al-Qaeda type of terror, which in
the past was located in Pakistan's FATA, gets transferred to
the mainland of Pakistan, I think it has very serious
consequences for our own security," he said.
"We would not like terrorism to lead to a situation where
civilian government is only a nominal government," he said.
Singh said there appears to be a mismatch between the US'
and Pakistan's objectives in Afghanistan and observed that he
does not see Islamabad fully committed to the war against
terrorism.
"As far as Afghanistan is concerned, I am not sure
whether the US and Pakistan have the same objectives," he
said. While Pakistan, he said, would like the US to get out of
Afghanistan soon, the US objectives are to get Pakistan to
deal with the Taliban. (MORE) PTI LKJ
