Pakistan's democratically elected government should be given a chance to act on its promise of dismantling terror set-up on its soil, BJP leader Murali Manohar Joshi said on Saturday.
"Pakistan has no option except to take action against terrorist groups in the country....There is an elected government in Pakistan. It should be given a chance to act on promises it has made to the international community regarding action against the terrorists," Joshi told reporters here.
Joshi, who has been named as the party candidate for Varanasi constituency, said the BJP will extend all possible support to the Centre in tackling the terror menace.
"Congress-led UPA government should ask Pakistan to hand over persons responsible for Mumbai terror attacks," he said.
The leader said the Centre needs to assure the nation that it is determined to take on terror once for all. "It is the duty of the government to create consensus on the measures to be taken on against terrorism," he said.
Joshi said that the government also needs to build consensus among political parties to improve economic condition of the country. "The government needs to closely monitor the fast changing global economy and alter its policies accordingly," he added.
The BJP leader said that his party was seriously deliberating on its debacle in Rajasthan and corrective measures would be taken soon.

The question of Pakistan acting against terrorists does not arise because the terrorists are acting in the name of Islam and Pakistan is an Islamic state. They might do something cosmetic in the case of Mumbai terror attacks because the world community is watching. But all the terrorist camps will all continue and next time there would be no direct attacks, but only planting of bombs and blaming the Hindus for it, through their Indian agents. So India should strike the iron while it is hot. Giving them time and all that, as Murali Manohar Joshi has said, will only allow things to cool down and India would have lost forever a great opportunity to at least cripple Pakistan, if not downright destroy it. -K.Venugopal - Mumbai
