India claims state actors in Pakistan involved with terror outfits

Numerous training camps, communication centres and launching pads operating in Pakistan, says Indian minister.

Ppi February 23, 2011

NEW DELHI: India Wednesday claimed that involvement of state actors in Pakistan with terrorist groups has come to light on a number of occasions, including in the 26/11 attacks, and that terror infrastructure continues to exist in the country.

"Inputs from central security agencies and through various open sources confirm that terrorist infrastructure continues to exist in Pakistan and Pakistan Kashmir by way of numerous training camps, communication centres and launching pads," Minister of State for Home Gurudas Kamat told Rajya Sabha in reply to a question.

He said that the government continues to be alert to these threats and has re-calibrated its measures to combat terrorism by way of reviewing threat perceptions and a number of important decisions and measures have been taken.

Pakistan confirmed this month that an agreement had been reached with India to resume dialogue “on all issues”, more than two years after peace talks collapsed.

New Delhi suspended a 2004 peace process between the two sides after the commando-style militant attacks in India’s commercial capital, blaming Pakistan-based militants for the deaths of 166 people.

The foreign ministry has said that Pakistan’s foreign minister will visit India by July.

ani | 13 years ago | Reply Neither India nor the rest of the world "claim". They know. So do the Pakistani's - many have admitted to state sponsored 'strategic assets' involved in terror themselves. Most recently it was Gen. Musharraff who confirmed it himself. Gen Gul says that with pride all the time.

Salman | 13 years ago | Reply Why no one is questioning if these people who attacked Mumbai was trained and recruited by raymond davis/CIA. It is very likely that americans want to see india paksitan in flames. its the old divide and rule policy of goras

Truth Prevails | 13 years ago | Reply Posters on this forum : Let's not get provoked into India/Pakistan bashing. If the Governments of both sides [not only one] are sincere then there would be no terror or terrorists. Whether the launching pads are in Pakistan Kashmir or in one of the Indian Consulates in Afghanistan, they are serving the same purpose.

Uzair Javaid | 13 years ago | Reply Pakistani economy at the moment is not in a position to support insurgency campaigns in india. To be more precise Pakistan has a lot to do than to blow india. We all know that TTP is indo-US asset for its brilliance caught red handed courtesy raymond davis carrying so much with him. There are clear facts that indian consulates adjacent to the Pakistani border are not doing something which would enhance trust, harmony and mutual interest security.

sher | 13 years ago | Reply Associating foreign actors with terror group is ridiculous. Foreign Celebrities whose every movement and communication is monitored by news media and almost every moment is recorded is involve in some terror activities doesn't make any sense. This is the most irresponsible statement that can be issued.

Mohit | 13 years ago | Reply This news item has enough fodder for an explosive India-Pakistan exchange of 'views'. Why can't our respective countries live in peace and promote TRUST among themselves rather accusing each other. What good is this going to do??? Praying for PEACE!!!

J Oberoi | 13 years ago | Reply This is old news. The entire world is aware of this - Cameron and Merkel for their part, have openly stated that this was the case. All that 'non-state actors' stories does not fool anybody. We'll have to wait and see where this will all end.

Mulla Toofhan | 13 years ago | Reply Well !!!!!. India should forward their concern to Raymond Davis or direct it to CIA HQ Or even better to forward it to the US Consulate in Lahore. They are in a better position to address their concern
