New Delhi: India on May 6 termed as "completely inadequate" Pakistan's announcement of reciprocal
confidence-building measures.
"The response is completely inadequate", official sources said reacting to Pakistan Prime Minister Mir
Zafarullah Khan Jamali's unveiling of the measures at a news conference in
Islamabad.
The sources said in the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) context, Jamali is
putting 78 items on the positive list, which was the pre-Kathmandu situation.
"Pakistan has tried to go back to pre-December 13 position but has said nothing against terrorism," they
said.
"It is not conceivable to go back to the pre-December 13 position without doing something tangible on
cross-border terrorism," they said.
The sources said Jamali has mentioned restoration of air links but made no reference to over-flight
facilities.
"This is indication of a mindset which is not very positive," they said.
