India is not exporting terrorism

Prime minister Manmohan Singh dismissed Pakistan's charge of India fomenting trouble in Balochistan. He said, "We are not in the business of spreading terror in Pakistan, or any other country. The people of Pakistan will know that the accusations made against India by the government are false."



Singh was commenting on Pakistan interior minister Rehman Malik's allegations that India was promoting terrorism in Balochistan and Afghanistan. Expressing concern over the developments in these countries, he said, "The people of Pakistan should realise that patronising terrorist groups has caused great harm to them, as well as to the South Asian region. The situation in Pakistan and Afghanistan is not what it should be. The rising role of terrorists is a matter of concern to all of us."

"We have to make adequate preparations to deal with the consequences of this overflow of terrorism from our neighbours to our country. Even though adequate measures necessary to tackle cross-border terrorism are being taken, the results will be much better if the countries work together," he added.
