pak push terrorist in India

Pakistan continues to push in trained terrorists from a large number of terror camps across the border into India, says defence minister A K Antony. This is a matter of serious concern and steps are being taken to check this, he told reporters. Even now, not only the terrorist camps are operating there, (but) there are continuous efforts to push a large number of trained terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir and India.

"It is a serious matter, it is a matter of concern to us. So to prevent that, whatever steps (are) needed we are taking," Antony said. He said it would be difficult to improve ties with Pakistan unless it made "serious" and "sincere" efforts to dismantle the large number of terror camps on its soil. The terrorist camps operating from Pakistan was the main impediment to improve India-Pakistan relations, Antony said. As a policy, he said India was not for any confrontation with its neighbours. "We want to avoid strained relationships with our neighbours and to improve ties."

India on Friday said two persons have been arrested in Pakistan in connection with Lashkar-e-Taiba's plot to target vital installations here, which was exposed in the US, showing the "obvious Pakistan link" to the conspiracy. There is an obvious Pakistan link. (David Coleman) Headley visited Pakistan a number of times and I think on the advice of the FBI, two or perhaps more people have been arrested in Pakistan," Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters in Hyderabad about the plot which was foiled with the arrest of the LeT operative by the FBI last month.
