Almost all terror groups active in Pak: Antony

Kochi, Jan 9 (PTI) Voicing concern over reports that a
large number of militants from PoK are waiting to cross the
LoC into Kashmir, Defence Minister of India A K Antony on
Saturday said almost all terrorist groups are "still active"
in Pakistan which has not cracked down on them, despite
repeated requests from India.
"This is a matter of concern because in spite of
repeated requests from the Indian Government, almost all
terrorist outfits operating from across the border are still
active and the Government of Pakistan is not taking much
steps", he told reporters at the Indian Coast Guard
headquarters here.
He said the Kashmir situation was a "matter of
concern", though the scenario has "not worsened" compared to
last year.
On reports that over 700 terrorists were waiting
across the border in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) to sneak
into J&K, he said India has taken all precautions to deal with
the situation.
Hitting out at Pakistan for its sharp reaction on
India's military doctrine, he said, "I don't know why there is
this over-reaction. India is not a war-mongering country.
"In spite of our differences with some of the
neighbouring countries, we are trying to improve our relations
with them. We have no extra-territorial ambition but our
concern is to protect the country's territorial integrity."
