New Delhi, June 8: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Monday that Pakistan should not allow its territory to be used for anti-India activities to facilitate improvement of ties between the two neighbours. Speaking at the convocation of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Science and Technology in Srinagar, the prime minister said that relations between the two countries had been affected by the Mumbai terror attack of 2008. "The Mumbai terror attack affected our relations... I had an important meeting with the Pakistan prime minister in Thimphu and he has assured me Pakistan will not allow its soil to be used for terrorism against India," he said.
Manmohan Singh was referring to his meeting with Yousuf Raza Gilani on the sidelines of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in the Bhutanese capital where the two countries announced resumption of dialogue process.
He said that relations between the two countries can improve if Pakistan does not allow its soil to be used by anti-India forces.
He said good relations between India and Pakistan were necessary for peace and progress in the region, and added that ties between the two countries should be such that people live in peace and amity. (IANS) |
