New Delhi: India sees no change in Pakistan's "intention" on terrorism, Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani
said on June 8 as he began his two-nation tour with a visit to the US.
"Terrorist acts are still on although there are ups and downs. But it does not appear that there is a
change in the intention of the neighbour (Pakistan)" on terrorism, he said while speaking to Sahara TV.
He said the issue would figure in his talks with the leaders of the US and Britain but emphasised India
had "resolve" to defeat terrorism and would not wait for support from any country in this regard.
Advani said he would listen to what the US has to say on this matter while conveying India's point of
view. During the last one year, India has told the US several times that it had "no expectation" from any
country with regard to fight against terrorism, he said.
Asked about double standards adopted by the US vis-à-vis fight against terrorism, Advani said every
country had the right to decide whom to support on the basis of its foreign policy and India was not
complaining.
