ISLAMABAD: The adviser to the prime minister on national security and foreign affairs, Sartaj Aziz, expressed serious concern over the statement made by Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar that India will use terrorism to counter terrorism from other countries.

This statement, Aziz said, only confirms Islamabad’s apprehensions about India’s involvement in terrorism in Pakistan.

“It must be the first time that a minister of an elected government openly advocates use of terrorism in another country on the pretext of preventing terrorism from that country or its non-state actors,” said the national security adviser.

Pakistan sincerely pursues a policy of good neighbourly relations with India, maintained Aziz.

“Terrorism is our common enemy and it is vital for the two countries to work together to defeat this menace, from which Pakistan has suffered much more than almost any other country,” he asserted.

"The statement of Indian defence minister is open and blatant admission and declaration of sponsoring terrorism," Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said in an official statement issued late on Saturday.

Asif said Indian defence minister specifically mentioned that regulation will not be used to quell terrorist activities and terrorism will be promoted instead.

"This is the worst kind of declaration by a state functionary of cabinet level which confirms that India is sponsoring terrorism against its neighbours in the name of preventing terrorist activities," Asif said.

Earlier, Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, in a shocking and radical statement, has asserted that terrorists have to be neutralised only through terrorists.

“India will take proactive steps to prevent a 26/11 type attack,” Press Trust of India quoted him saying.

Commenting on the shocking utterances of the Indian Defence Minister, a defence analyst said the statement was appalling and beyond comprehension.

Speaking at an event in New Delhi, the minister used the Hindi phrase “kante se kanta nikalna” (removing a thorn with a thorn) and wondered why Indian soldiers should be used to neutralise terrorists. The proactive steps, he said, could include pressure tactics.

“We have to neutralise terrorists through terrorists only. Why can't we do it? We should do it. Why does my soldier have to do it?” he said and added that the issue could not be discussed beyond this.

“There are certain things that I obviously cannot discuss here. But if there is any country, planning something against my country, we will definitely take some pro-active steps,” he said.

The defence analyst lamented that the menace of terrorism could not be defeated by promoting state-sponsored terrorism.

India, he added, was carving out a disastrous strategy as it would never help in rooting out terrorism, which was a global issue threatening all states.

The international community should take notice of this irresponsible statement, which was reflecting a sick mindset, he stressed.

So he finally accepted state terrorism by India. First country in world to so that and then expect peace from others. He forgot that in doing so he will have to receive more "kantas" from others. We bleed, u bleed!!

How easily they twist the words of Indian defence minister to suit their propaganda.

"Speaking at the Aaj Tak Manthan conclave in New Delhi on Thursday, Parrikar dropped his bombshell in response to a question about how India would react to another Mumbai-type 26/11 terror attack.

"Rather than reacting to a repeat of 26/11, it would be better not to let such an attack happen. Whatever we have to do, whether it is diplomatic, pressure tactics, or using a thorn to extract a thorn (kaante se kaanta nikalna)," answered Parrikar.

"We have to use terrorists to neutralise terrorists", he said, to applause from the audience."

He is talking about using terrorist or Non state actors(as Pakistan likes to call its terrorists) to neutralise Pakistani terrorists.

The thing is,which country has to fear??Pakistan does not as they "Officially" doesn't export terror to India..

if India deploys "Terrorists" to kill "Terrorists",which country has to fear??Why Sartaz Aziz is having butthurt??

Bhutan co-operated to get rid off ULFA,BD did,Myanmar did too..they don't have any problem regarding "Killing Terrorists"..

by the way,DM didn't say they're going to "Spread Terrorism" in another country(Like Pakistan wants to believe)..he meant this...

Army making targeted kills of terrorists in J&K, Manohar Parrikar says - The Times of India

There are plenty of "Surrendered Terrorists" available for this job..

but as always,Pakistani minister made a "Popat" of himself.

Good to see hindu terrorism being exposed by their own defence minister. This is not speculation anymore as Indians love to do when it comes to ISI.

[nik141991]

Does every high ranking diplomat in Pakistan have brain size of a midget, never expected something like this from such a senior person & if he really believe what he speak than i think its time for Pakistan to name & shame India using his speech on international level, It would be fun to watch Pakistan getting rejected once again for their stupid overtures

India is pursuing every opportunity to destablize Pakistan to keep Pakistan underpressure since they loosing grip in Afghanistan's administration and success to Pak that both afghan and pak agencies agreed to share intelligence..
there isnt any Mumbai attack happen in india and there are alot of terrorism incidence happend in Pakistan.. which is even bigger than mumbai.. Pak never mentioned that india is behind simply cuz Pak wants tohave good relationship with neighbours but if this kind of statments will keep comming which truly shows indian mentality, then i have no doubt third force will take advantage and make another mumbai incidence just like indian army have done Samjotha express and terrorist boat incidence..
there isnt any doubt indian is behind in terrorism in Pak.. i think they sud stop bluffing and sud take cridet of it.. after all spending billions of indian money.

And you guys have been conducting a proxy war against India by your terrorist 'strategic assets' for the past three decades but have vehemently denied it even though the whole world knows.

So what are you bellyaching about? Pakistan doesn't have a monopoly over using terror as state policy. Two can play the game, right? You hurt us, we hurt you. Period! The days of India's Gandhian doctrine of turning the other cheek are over.

Cheers! Have a nice day!

People like you make terrorism also communal and then on otherhand you say the terrorist that you have are non state actors and are not part of your religion.

No doubt defence minister made a worst statement and it would hurt indian image long run and like many BJP ministers he need to learn how and when to keep mouth shut.

None the less Indian govt cannot run terrorist against terrorist campaign even if some minister says, because of democratic nature of government.

Pak should take both raw and Saudi.

1. Last time criticism on madrassas brought high profile attack on Sri Lankan team to distract from madrassas. attack by university educted.

2. This time too when madrassas were under criticism another high profile attack by university gruaduates came on ismaili community to distrat from madrassas.

3. Last when when Saudi was under criticism, kargil war started to distract.

4. this time too when Saudi is under criticism again distraction to raw and This time something bigger than kargil can come up to distract people from Saudi wahabi mafia and to make then forget Saudi and yemen trap. Saudi+Inida both have defence agreements and Saudi acts as double agent.

5. when ik and pat reached to their epic to remove Saudi puppet Nawaz, india started bombing pak to distract.

Saudi+india are united against pak.

Pak should deal both equally otherwise peace will never come in pak.
