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.

Defense Minister A.K. Anthony admitted that “Naxalism is a serious threat but it has to be mainly handled by paramilitary and police.” Stressing the need of the hour to abjure violence on the part of the naxal maoists, the minister claimed that the forces will be let to handle the violent rebels only if the situation goes out of control.

“What we are demanding is that they should abjure violence – whether in West Bengal or in other areas. In our view, deployment of armed forces for internal security is the last resort.”

Only last day, the maoists held back Rajdhani Express for 6 hours and had abducted their driver.
