Kanpur: Indian Defence Minister A K Anthony has claimed that at least 42 terrorist camps were still functioning in Pakistan.
Defence Minister A K Antony said that “co-operation” between the two nations was not possible if the terror tap continued to flow from across the border.
“Without destroying these terrorist camps, it would be difficult to have permanent cooperation in Indo-Pak relations,” he said.
However, A K Anthony said that New Dehli was keen to continue the dialogue process as Indian government wanted to have good relations with Pakistan.
“Dialogue is an important factor. Without dialogue nothing can be achieved,” he said.
It is worth mentioning here that India’s Defence Minister comments came just a day before the start of the two-day Defence Secretary-level talks in New Delhi.
Apart from cross-border terrorism which is expected to feature in the talks, the vexed issue of Siachen is also expected to be discussed. India wants Pakistan to authenticate the position of each others’ troops, but Pakistan has been reluctant.
