Pak failing miserably in controlling terrorism: India

New Delhi, Feb 16 (PTI) India Tuesday said that Pakistan
was failing miserably in controlling terrorism by categorising
terrorists as "good" and "bad" and that it needed to deal with
the terror issue in an evenhanded manner.
"Pakistan is failing miserably and they are trying to say
that there are good terrorists and there are bad terrorists,
which is wrong.
"I think they have to deal with an entire spectrum of
terrorism in an evenhanded manner," Indian minister of state
for Defence M M Pallam Raju told reporters here on the
sidelines of a seminar.
The minister was responding to queries on whether
Pakistan was doing enough to control terrorism emanating from
its territory.
He added that it was time the "military industrial
complex and power centres" in Pakistan realised that terrorism
fostered by them was affecting them as much it was affecting
India and hoped that Islamabad would act responsibly in
future.
Asked why India will continue talks with Pakistan if the
western neighbour was still involved in terror-related
activities, Raju said, "It is important that dialogue is
continued with neighbours in the interest of the neighbourhood
and the region.
"India in the interest of the region, will try to have a
channel open for dialogue because that is the only way to
settle matters and bring some responsible rule in the
neighbourhood." PTI
