New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh warned today that better relations with Pakistan depend on the fact that it will prevent the use of its territory for activities against India.
Singh assure that his country will take the necessary measures to prevent events such as the recent murder of five indian guards of the border with Pakistan in Kashmir, and emphasized that bilateral relations can not improve if terrorist attacks continue.
We will take all possible measures to avoid such incidents in the future, noted the head of government in his speech on the 66th anniversary of India’s Independence from the ramparts of historic Red Fort.
Both nations are accused each other of starting a dozen shootings since last August 6 at different points of the Line of Control that divides this territory, whose sovereignty claim from the partition of the subcontinent by the British Empire to its withdrawal in 1947.
Those incidents threaten to derail the bilateral peace talks scheduled by the end of this month and a possible meeting between Singh and his Pakistani counterpart, Nawaz Sharif, when they meet in New York in September during the celebration of the UN General Assembly.
