Coming down heavily on Pakistan, President Pranab Mukherjee has said unless it dismantles the terror infrastructure on its soil, there is no scope for progress in talks between the two countries.
“We demand from Pakistan that the infrastructures created by the terrorist outfits in your territories, dismantle them! Keep your commitments to India, don’t allow terrorists to use your land to perpetrate their nefarious activities on India.
“Unless that atmosphere is created, how could you talk about other developmentsIJ Therefore, we do hope that what Nawaz Sharif stated, he will try to implement that,” Mukherjee said in an interview to Turkish newspaper Today’s Zaman.
The President exhorted that a “serious effort” should be made by Pakistan on this subject as he said most terrorist activities against India are emanating from “territories under the control of Pakistan.”
“let the appropriate atmosphere be created. The actual line of control on which the ceasefire exists, it has been violated.”
He also expressed happiness over the steps taken by the two countries to resolve their differences.
