Once again Pakistan bears the brunt of accusal of terrorist sheltering from the Indian side as Defence Minister A.K. Anthony refutes that there are “various terrorists groups operating from Pakistan, but despite our repeated requests all terrorist camps are intact. Many of them are in the vicinity of their army bases. It is a matter of concern and worry to us.”

When asked what will be India’s stand in this critical state where Pakistan has not yet confirmed its diplomatic stand concerning terrorism in its basic military framework, Antony responded that  “we are eternally vigilant and if something happens we will act accordingly.” The defense minister was confident that India will “defeat their attempts” and added that “Unless Pakistan takes sincere action against these terror groups and dismantles these terror outfits, it is very difficult to improve our relationship with Pakistan.”

“We know very well that there are forces who now and then are creating problems in India. We are making all out precautions not only in NDC but across the country,” Antony concluded.
