London: Accusing Pakistan of sabotaging economic co-operation in South Asia, India wondered if the SAARC summit to be held in Islamabad in January 2003 would serve any purpose given Pakistan's "lack of will" to make progress on trade issue.

"What will the summit do? On weighty issues like trade, there is a lack of will from Pakistan to make any progress," External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha told 'The Guardian' newspaper in an interview.

He said India would respond "without restraint" if countries like the United States and Britain fail to force Pakistan to sponsor terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.

It was the responsibility of countries such as the US and Britain to force Pakistan to act. If they could not, then India would respond "without restraint", External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha said.

He said the international community has lost its right to lecture New Delhi on how to respond to terrorist provocation by displaying "double standards" in tackling militants.

The international community has lost its right to advise India. It came and told us this is the promise President Pervez Musharraf has made (to curb infiltration into India by Islamic militants). Yet, Musharraf has clearly failed to deliver," Sinha said.

"There is tremendous anger in the minds of the people of India. They are angry even with us. They feel we have taken a very soft line with Pakistan," he said.

The External Affairs Minister said, "Terrorism in Kashmir is entirely imported and exported by Pakistan. The international community calls Pakistan a stalwart ally, so the terrorists in Pakistan are bad and the terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir are good."

"If the international community wants to live with this definition, then good luck to the international community. But it is the same al-Qaida fellow who comes into Jammu and Kashmir, who goes to Bali, who goes to Singapore, who goes to the US and who comes to Europe," he said.
