Terrorism emanating from Pakistan's soil has complicated India's relations with that country, external affairs minister SM Krishna said here, as he slammed Islamabad for not doing enough to crack drown on extremist elements.
Terrorism emanating from Pakistan's soil has complicated India's relations with that country, external affairs minister SM Krishna said here, as he slammed Islamabad for not doing enough to crack drown on extremist elements.
"Our relationship with Pakistan has been complicated by this very issue of terrorism and the need for Pakistan to take effective action to prevent the territory under its control from being used for terrorism directed against India," Krishna said while speaking at the Asia Society in New York.
Krishna said in several meetings between 2004 and 2009, India had received assurances from Pakistan that it would not allow attacks to be planned on its soil.
"They assure us that they will not let their territories be used for unleashing terror against India but, alas, the result is for everyone to see," Krishna said.
India had called off the composite dialogue with Pakistan following the Mumbai terror attack in November 2008 that were plotted by the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan.
Speaking last week at the same venue, Qureshi had pointed out that no government had done more to combat terrorism than Islamabad, and no country had more victims of terrorism than Pakistan.
"The world recognises and applauds the important successes achieved by our security forces against terrorists.. These successes have come at a heavy cost," he had said, pointing out that more than 20,000 civilians had fallen victim to terrorism, more than 2,500 security personnel had been killed, and the conflict had cost Pakistan nearly $50 billion.
India maintains that comprehensive talks between the two countries can only succeed after Islamabad cracks down on the perpetrators of 26/11.
Qureshi had also said reiterated that New Delhi should have kept the dialogue going after the 26/11 terrorist attack and noted that the Mumbai attack was a big setback for the incremental gains of the composite dialogue.
Both Krishna and Qureshi were here to attend the opening session of the UN General Assembly.
