BJP tells UPA to rake up international consensus on Pakistan

Zeenews Bureau

New Delhi, Jan 10: The BJP leadership on Saturday asked the ruling UPA government to mobilise support from the international community for exerting more pressure on Pakistan for its constant failure to contain terrorist outfits operating on its soil.

In view of Pakistan’s alleged links with the terrorist groups, the BJP leadership has also strongly criticised Islamabad for not fulfilling its promise in the fight against terrorism.

Taking a tough stance on terrorism, the party has also demanded that Pakistan’s premier spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) should be declared a terrorist organisation.

Islamabad has been in the denial mode ever since Indian investigators proved that Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist who attacked Mumbai, hails from Pakistan.

India has on several occasions alleged that Pakistan has become a safe haven for terrorists. The Mumbai attack left more than 250 dead and scores injured.

To use the word Musharaf used in the contest of India threatening to carry out surgical attacks against Pakistan, I would use the same word ‘rubbish’ to comment on BJP’s advising the UPA government to rake up international support vis-à-vis Pakistan. What help can the international community possibly give us? And if we expect the international community to take punitive action against Pakistan, we would only be living in fool’s paradise. We have to solve our problems ourselves. We have to cut-off all relations with Pakistan and seek and destroy all Pakistani modules in India. Let us first make India Pakistan-free before getting on with the task of making Pakistan terrorist-free.
