Pakistan helping terrorists enter India, claims Indian home minister
"We have information that Pakistan is helping terrorists to enter our territory,” alleged Sushil Kumar Shinde, the Indian home minister.
“We are on alert,” he added.
“When I was in Jammu and Kashmir, locals ask me to remove the army from the valley but I told them we can’t till the situation is peaceful,” added the Indian home minister.
He said that he told the people he would “remove the army when the situation is peaceful".
Pakistan and India face constant tensions and have been trying to resolve these through visits and trade.
Earlier, President Asif Ali Zardari visited India and invited his counterpart to Pakistan.
Recently, the Indian defence ministry claimed that Pakistani soldiers fired heavy weapons into Indian-administered Kashmir and killed three civilians.
India also accused Pakistan of stirring the panic that led to an exodus of people from northwest India.

@Omar: Ameen. Pakistan Zindabad
1st see mati ullah jans prog.apna apna gireban,dg isi told there that how they trained jihadis against India, how they helped them to enter India. Pakistan is making same mistake.grow up otherwise u have to pay..... heavy price.
@Dr. Rajesh: More Pakistanis want peace with India than Indians want peace with Pakistan. 72% of Pakistanis are in favor of peace while 60% of Indians are. To blame Pakistan alone for the failure to achieve it is being biased. Just recently, India was found smuggling espionage equipment in their trading goods to Pakistan. A lot of your hatred towards us sprouts with your media blaming EVERY flaw of India on Pakistan. I mean the SMS scandal that caused all those Indians to migrate was even blamed on Pakistan. So whereas I don't deny Pakistan does not do their part, Indians aren't angels of heaven that do only good either, they are equally to blame.
Good thing is that none of the Pakistanis are denying what Shinde said.
Now this is the limit. This is height of incompetency. This new home minister has taken 3 months to come to terms to this world known fact.
Indian administration has always negative stance towards the relationship of Pakistan. she blames Pakistan against her own negligent performance. her behavior infers the vested interests. however, the intellectuals, poets, journalist and etc have performed an admirable role in strengthen the relationship with Pakistan. now, it is need of a situation, Indian administration should work for the common interests of common people of India.
@Indian: " ... If we kick out some politicians and clergy from both the nations, India and Pakistan can cooperate in all the areas and prosper together. ... "
What Indian clergy are you talking about ?
@Ali Dada: "*These old Indian ministers need to go – they have hatred for Pakistan baked into their DNA. I have tiny bit of hope from the younger Indian ministers but old ones will retire hating Pakistan. Pakistan has lost 40,000+ lives in war on terrorism and frankly, average Pakistani is sick and tired of the word terrorist. "*
With due respect to you, it is not just the old generation that has bitterness in their hearts (and this is more the case with Pakistan than with India) but everytime a step is taken in the right direction, Pakistan sends - or does not prevent the sending of -- terrorists to India and disrupt the tranquility. The young generation that witnessed the carnage of Mumbai in 2008 is equally outraged by the killing of innocent men, women and small children by men from Pakistan. How can you do a tango when India takes a step forward while Pakistan takes two steps back? There is not even a sincere attempt by your government or military to stop the hate-mongering spewed by your mullahs and their mobs. Obviously, these guys have a hate-India agenda, but stern action against them, combined with enlightened education for the masses, would be a way to combat them. Many Indians, angered, outraged and frustrated by such incidents that always kill and maim the innocent, defenseless and unarmed, even speak of settling the scores with Pakistan through a full-fledged war as this would be the right way to settle their enmity once for all, instead of sending mercenaries and killers, who are essentially cowards, under the cloak of darkness. But war, an ugly word, should never happen between two neighbours who were born out of the womb of the same mother. You also recently witnessed an innocent child named Malala who almost fell victim to the bullets of brutal killers. It is not about old and young politicians; it is about perceptions. Pakistan needs more Malalas and not the Zardaris, the Sharifs, the Imran Khans (equally opportunistic and self-grandizing) and the mullahs. I am sure there are many more Malalas in Pakistan but you need to encourage -- and protect -- them. Only then, can you expect progress in both directions. You have lost two generations after the partition; hopefully, another generation will not be lost in this hostile climate. We need peace between the two siblings, but to achieve this goal, Pakistan must find its own inner peace and stability. People of Pakistan must work towards this goal; the politicians, military and mullahs will not let this happen. But the people must not abandon their resolve and hope. You will find Indians only too happy to extend their hand of friendship and brotherhood.
ahahahhaha, yes, and what about what the RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS WING (RAW)...
The Indian home minister should have checked his facts and evidence before making a statement of this kind. If there is indeed evidence that Pakistan has been doing what it is accused of, then the home minister should publish that evidence and let the whole world see what a devil Pakistan is. If he does not have such evidence, or if he cannot publish evidence for whatever reason, then he should have kept his own counsel and not unburden himself in public.
@It Is (still) Economy Stupid: Getting rid of "bad state elements" would mean getting rid of half the world, particularly America, and as G. Din pointed out it there is a better chance of tooth fairies floating down from heaven. In the meantime I suppose the average sub-continent citizen will just have to be patient for their governments to improve their act. Unfortunately, patience is wearing a little thin. It should not be too difficult for the big players to cooperate a little more or get a Federation going. Even America managed it. However, the politicians have had 60 odd years to solve their problems and they do not appear to be trying too hard. Additionally, making stupid statements in public will not help.
@PaKhtoon: "“you will come, as you came in 1965 right ????" Ask those who lived in Lahore then! @Indian: to Mard-e-Haq ".If we kick out some politicians and clergy from both the nations, India and Pakistan can cooperate in all the areas and prosper together." And, those tooth fairies shall come floating down from Heaven!
Pakistani wants liberal visa policy with India but do not want controls that go with such a regime. If infiltration of terrorist is not stopped than liberal visa policy will be scrapped in no time. All those making negative comments are not good citizen of the global village. Hassle free Travel across Europe or between USA and Canada comes with lot of cooperation and information sharing between the governments. Why don't we all support the initiative to get rid of bad state and non state elements to give lot of relief and respect to Joe average Pakistani, Indian and Afghani? Average Pakistani should be able to travel freely from Dhaka to Tehran or Kabul to Nepal. This is a privilege and not your right. You will have to earn it.
I wish Chidambaram was back as Home Minister or some other competent person. This joker has nothing to recommend him other than being a Sonia lackey.
Since the Indians gained freedom from the British, they have been using their country and their puppets in Afghanistan as bases to launch terrorists into Pakistan. The Indians are the last to make such claims when they are the devious players of these games. Why doesn't India just stop terroprising Kashmir and let the UN hold a referendum in occupied Kashmir so people can choose their own destiny as mandated by the world community?
This is just to divert attention from crimes of Indian state. This is their standard operating procedure nothing more.
@True muslim paki : don't say like that china tumhara bhai hey.
@Indian johns: "you should care, and one day we will come wait for that." O really ? you are damn funny bro "you will come, as you came in 1965 right ????
Wrong absolutely wrong,hidden hand is working and Indian leader has begun dancing on it. there is no facts in their statement. Mere allegation is not enough there must circumstantia evidence.
Pakistan is being pressurised for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?
The blame game will go one, Pakistan will blame India, India will blame Pakistan when in fact both are partly to blame for the problems. This is really irrelevant news!
Apparently this man is as brilliant and effective as his Pakistani counterpart.
Don't blame Pakistan, blame your foces who are oppressing innocent Muslims. It's a matter of Time that Kashmir, Burma, Western china (Uighurs) will become independent Muslim countries.
A insafian.
This is what i expected after Kashmir attack occurred a couple of day earlier..
Pakistan needs to become focused on it;s economy. To do that they need a good education system. Without which they will never realize their full potential.
One thing is for sure,those elements in india and pakistan talking hostile about each other is enemy of both poor countries,these black sheeps must be identified and instead of hawks they be termed as traitors because it is a fact that a dog in First world has more expensive lifestyle then atleast 50% of population of both countries, if not please just click to cat and dog food website your eyes will be wide open and you will join me in cursing old hawks
If Pakistan is not training and sending terrorists it is good for Pakistan; otherwise this road leads to certain doom. All this "tit for tat" will not work; Pakistan is in no position to play these games. The sooner the generals realize this the better it will be for everyone concerned.
The minister also added that he have evidence about existence of Sasquatch and a mini cyclops that Indian recently developed in a test tube.
This prophetic utterances of Maulana Azad should be now part of study curriculum..

@PaKhtoon: you should care, and one day we will come wait for that.
These old Indian ministers need to go - they have hatred for Pakistan baked into their DNA. I have tiny bit of hope from the younger Indian ministers but old ones will retire hating Pakistan. Pakistan has lost 40,000+ lives in war on terrorism and frankly, average Pakistani is sick and tired of the word terrorist. We are a peaceful and progressive nation. One day when internal strife in Pakistan has cooled off and corrupt Politicians are replaced by good ones, one day when the army is not corrupt, then we will see how Pakistan and entire region progresses peacefully, Ameen.
@Mard-e-Haq: Yes my brother. I agree with you.. our vision is not proper..If we kick out some politicians and clergy from both the nations, India and Pakistan can cooperate in all the areas and prosper together. God bless you all.
Poor old Pakistan. First of all Pakistan was just trying to get along without bothering anybody and then the US came along. They did not only help so called terrorists enter into Pakistan, they actively forced them in, and then for the last eleven years have severely criticized Pakistan for harbouring them. As if this was not bad enough the US has spent the last ten years bombing and killing innocent Pakistani people under the guise that they were trying to get the so called terrorists. The last major attempt at American Bravado was when they said that their brave navy seals found a terrorist in Abbottabad and that they had dropped his body into the Indian Ocean. Now, the Indian Home Minister is accusing Pakistan of the same thing the Americans have been accusing Pakistan of doing for the last eleven years, which is total nonsense. Sorry Indian Home Minister, Pakistan has been accused of this terrorist nonsense for too long now. Find some other bad guy to blame, and solve your own problems. They certainly do not belong to Pakistan.
India and Pakistan are twins...same blood is running in their veins. And the common man in both the countries want peace. If some issues are solved and If some politicians and clergy are kicked out of these nations, God willing both nations can coexist,cooperate and prosper together in all the areas.
What a dumb home minister, Sharing intelligence report with media rather to share with Pakistan's Intelligence. some people never grow up.
@Mard-e-Haq: Pakistan is free to give entry, give support and provide sanctuary to terrorists within Pakistan. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ But thats where it must stop.
Pakistan is not helping terrorists. Pakistan is sending terrorists.
Earlier, President Asif Ali Zardari visited India invited his counterpart to Pakistan. There should be an "and" between "India" and "invited"
Pakistan is her own worst enemy. May God save this country (and destroy its generals) !!
Nobel price to uncle Shinde for this great discovery. Now that you know about it.. TAKE ACTION!! Work overnight to get the HIGH TECH FENCE installed at LOC in double quick time
Hah ha ha, Very funny Indian Interior minister, Mr Shinde kindly call head of RAW and ask him that what all havoc he is creating in Pakistan? moreover. How can there be peace in Kashmir if Indian Army is there. One piece of advice for Pro Indian Pakistanis, you people cannot match the cunningness and guileless of CHANAKYA'S disciples.
They can claim but not prove.
@Mard-e-Haq: A small correction. They have already entered and settled now only to be kicked out? But your leaders are afraid of kicking them out. That is the main reason for all these problems
you must realise that in Pakistani army there are people who believe and SUPORT so called freedom movement in Kashmir . it has not done any good though @Mard-e-Haq:
zyada ho gaya
Sir, India is also actively financing BLA, to break Balochistan! But you will never succeed Pakistan Zindabad
not news.
You cannot keep people trapped with an army. Many lessons can be found in history
Pakistan is also helping terrorists enter Pakistan, Mr Shinde. Ever heard of Malala Yousafzai?
God help us all.
