India seeks global cooperation to put pressure on Pak

New Delhi, Jan 23 (PTI) India Friday asked the world
community to cooperate in its efforts to get Pakistan act
against terror outfits operating from its soil.

"We expect cooperation from all world communities to get
speedy results to our demands," Indian Defence Minister A K
Antony told reporters here to a question on US President
Barack Obama calling Pakistan the epicentre of terror.

"Apart from solidarity or sympathy, what India needs is
results and we are waiting for the results," Antony added.

New Delhi has been telling the world that terrorists
operating from across the border are not only a threat to
India but also to the entire world, Antony said.

"I am happy that there is realisation in many quarters on
terrorists operating from across the border. As per our
information, at the moment there are 30 terror outfits
operating from across the border," Antony said.

"It is not words or sympathy, India needs action, India
needs results," the Defence Minister added.

Calling for strong action against terrorists who
perpetrated the Mumbai terror attacks, the Defence Minister
said all terror outfits in Pakistan must be dismantled.

To a question, Antony denied any pressure on India from
the US against using military option in the wake of the Mumbai
terror attacks due to the former's war on terror in
Afghanistan.

"No sensible person, no responsible country will say
after the 26/11 experience that India must not take any steps
against terrorists," he said.

Noting that the armed forces were in a state of
preparedness after the terror attacks, Antony said "they are
doing their duty to the nation and they must, according to me,
be ready to face any eventuality on the border".

To a poser on Pakistan seeking China's help to ward off
New Delhi's pressure, the Defence Minister said there was
nothing new in the move. PTI
