India raised insurgency issue with Myanmar: Krishna | External Affairs Minister S M Krishna revealed on Friday that India raised the issue of insurgents groups operating from Myanmarese soil with the Government of Myanmar on the sidelines of the BIMSTEC meet. "We
discussed the issue of insurgent groups working against India from the soil of
Myanmar . He assured me of full cooperation in this regard," Krishna told the
media onboard his aircraft. Asked specifically if the issue of ULFA chief Paresh
Barua taking shelter in the Kachin state of Myanmar was raised, Krishna said an
assurance was given to him by Myanmar Prime Minister Thien Sein that he would
look into the matter. According to sources, India and Myanmar have agreed to share
intelligence to deal with insurgent groups. Speaking to reporters, Krishna reacted
sharply to a reported appeal filed by the Jamat ud Dawa with the United Nations
to remove restrictions imposed on it. "There is no reason for us to revise our
position on Hafiz Sayeed as we hold him responsible for the Mumbai attacks and,
we have enough evidence of his involvement. We expect friendly nations to consult
India before taking any decision in this regard," Krishna said. Dwelling on the
back channel talks with Pakistan , Krishna stated: "All channels with Pakistan
are open to ensure that the perpetrators of the horrible crime are brought to
justice". Meanwhile, heads of delegations attending to the twelfth BIMSTEC ministerial
meeting, have adopted the BIMSTEC Convention for Cooperation in Combating International
Terrorism, Transnational Organised Crime and Illicit Drug Trafficking. |
