Pak attitude towards India not changed: Chidambaram

New Delhi, Nov 27 (PTI) India hopes that international
opinion and its pressure combined with refusal to engage in a
dialogue will force Pakistan to change its attitude towards
terror groups operating from there.

Home Minister P Chidambaram said there have been several
attempts by terrorists from across the border as well as
modules within the country to launch terror attacks like 26/11
in India and these have been successfully foiled by the
security agencies with better intelligence inputs.
"I can't change Pakistan's attitude. I can only hope that
international opinion, Indian pressure and India's refusal to
engage Pakistan in a dialogue, will force Pakistan to change
its attitude," he said in a CNN-IBN programme.
"We have said that always," he said on Pakistan not
abandoning its policy on supporting terror groups post 26/11.
However, the Minister said, looking at Islamabad's
attitude, India has strengthened its security manifold and is
now better prepared in comparison to what it was an year ago.
"All I can say is given Pakistan's attitude, am I better
prepared? Have I built more capacity and more competence? I
think I have," he said.
He dismissed as "misplaced criticism" the allegations
that Rs 31 crore have been spent on protection of Ajmal Amir
Kasab, the lone surviving Mumbai attacks terrorist. He was a
very important catch, he said. (More) PTI ACB
