Fighting terrorism: India questions Pakistan’s commitment

India does not believe that Pakistan is showing ‘sustained commitment’ says spokesperson

NEW DELHI: India on Monday reacted sharply to the US decision to certify aid to Pakistan, questioning its neighbour’s “commitment and will” to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism. “India does not believe that Pakistan is showing ‘sustained commitment’ or making ‘significant effort’ or ceasing support” or dismantling ‘bases of operations’ of the Lashkar e Tayyaba, Jaish-e-Muhammad, the Haqqani network and quite possibly al Qaeda,” said S Akbaruddin, the spokesperson for the ministry of external affairs.
