Pakistan must follow up on its promise of action agaist ' elements' which orchestrated the attacks in Mumbai. The future of bilateral ties depended on Pakistan sincerly investigating the incident. India expect good sense will prevail in the back drop of these assurances and a conductive atmosphere can be built up. That is possible only after words are followed by action'
The assurances were given by the former Pakistan president General Pervez Musharraf on january 6, 2000 and by the present president Asif Ali Zardari in a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on september 24 this year. Both had promised to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism and vowed not to allow their soil to be used for launching terror strickes in India
The news reports provided ample evidence to conclude that outfits based in Pakistan were involved in the Mumbai terror attack. The Pakistan not to allow its land to be used by any outfit to engineer terror strikes against India. The popular Front of India (PFI) Condemned Pakistan for allowing its land to be used by such outfits to design and launch terror attacks against India. The Sovereignty, Integrity and Security of every nation had to be procted. As Indian, the security of our nation was of utmost concern to us.
The Centre was moving in the right direction by concentrating on diplomatic and international pressure and that was producing some welcome results. But a military option against Pakistan at this juncture would not be the right move. A war between neighbouring countries would not be in the interests of the people of both nations. Pakistan should ensure that anti- India elements did not use their territory.
