Indian PM asks Pakistan to stop ‘terrorist activities’

INDIA: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked Pakistan to honour its commitment to halt “terrorist activities” in the disputed Kashmir region to achieve peace after 60 years of animosity.

Addressing pro-Indian politicians in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir, Singh said his country has engaged sincerely with Pakistan to resolve all pending issues.

“However, these efforts will not be fruitful unless a peaceful environment is created through honouring of commitments made, in letter and spirit, to curb terrorist activities,” Singh said.

“Every possible action would be taken to see that the deployment of security forces was directly related to the scale of the problems on the ground which they are required to tackle,” he said.
