Pak ready to take on LeT terror camps if India provides 'exact' details: FO | Pakistan has asked India to provide exact details of terror training camps being run on its soil by banned extremist groups like the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), so that it can demolish them. Interacting with
a visiting Indian media delegation, Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Abdul Basit
said New Delhi must provide details of the 42 terror training camps that it claims
functions across the Line of Control (LoC), adding that Islamabad has already
banned the LeT. "We are telling them to tell us where these camps are, if you
know about them tell us, but when we ask them for details, they don't come up
with any," Basit said. Referring to remarks from the Indian leadership that Pakistan
based militants are on the lookout for another Mumbai type attack, he said information
regarding any such activity must be shared with Islamabad to enable it to take
action on time. "When the Indian Prime Minister or Home Minister says so, they
must be saying it on the basis of some information. Share that with us, so that
we can pre-empt. Our request is to share any information, intelligence about it
to enable us to take action," The Daily Times quoted Basit, as saying. He said
India and Pakistan should work together to eliminate terrorism from the region
rather than blaming each other for the menace, and added that Pakistan does not
have any evidence of linkages between the Al Qaeda and the LeT. Basit was hopeful
of a meeting between Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and with his Pakistani
counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani on the sidelines of the forthcoming South Asian
Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in Bhutan, which is scheduled
to be held on April 28 -29. He said the 'likely' meeting could help in reviving
the stalled composite dialogue between both countries. "Bhutan is not yet a missed
opportunity. We still have time and we are in touch diplomatically. However, no
formal meeting has been planned yet," Basit said. |
