NEW DELHI: US Secretary of State John Kerry urged Pakistan on Tuesday to do more to stop extremist groups using its territory, saying on a visit to India there could be no distinction between “good and bad terrorists”.

Kerry said it was important that Islamabad moved to “deprive any group of sanctuary”, highlighting the threat posed by Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Kashmiri separatist group which is allegedly behind a string of anti-Indian attacks.

“We will not and we cannot make distinctions between good and bad terrorists… Terrorism is terrorism,” Kerry said at a press conference alongside India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.

Kerry said the US government had “had conversations with all members of the region frankly about efforts they need to take against terrorism which comes out of their country”, adding that he had personally raised the issue with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Around 70 civilians have been killed since the beginning of last month in the aftermath of the Indian army’s killing of a charismatic young separatist leader and a curfew remains in place in many parts of held Kashmir.

Swaraj said there was “a meeting of minds” during her talks with Kerry on tackling the threats posed by extremists as she reiterated long-standing accusations that Pakistan was sponsoring “cross-border terrorism”.

“I briefed Secretary Kerry about the continuing problem of cross-border terrorism that India and the larger region faces from Pakistan,” she said.

Both sides said that there had been an agreement to step up cooperation on intelligence.

“We agree on additional measures to strengthen our counterterrorism,” said Swaraj. “We will intensify intelligence sharing.”

So I guess:

7000+ security forces killed
12,000 security forces wounded
36,000-65,000 civilians killed
3.5 million civilians displaced
32,553 militants killed

is not good enough...

So raping and murdering Kashmiri women and children for 60 years is not considered terrorism? Time for morally bankrupt nations to stfu.

Oh my god! Such a ghairat mand man from such a pure ghairat mand land! Only manufacturing moral terrorists since 1947! Time for Pakistan to stop butting in Indian affairs 'morally' and be a ghairat mand land and actually adhere to the agreements it signed.

You don't get to decide what constitutes a terrorist.

 

[surya kiran]

No no. Only ghairat mand land which does not adhere to the agreements it signs should.

 

[Menace2Society]

No no. Only ghairat mand land which does not adhere to the agreements it signs should.

Why don't you stop murdering and raping Kashmiri children and women and then come to table to talk about morality. Nobody cares what Uncle Sam says Pakistan will ensure India never gets to keep Kashmir.

This should have been the official Pakistani government response within minutes of this statement by Kerry. Really, the pathetic response by Pakistan to these accusations has been the main reason why these demands are made. It's almost as if Pakistan has a slave-master arrengment with the outside world.

Why don't you start adhering to documents you sign before poking your nose into others' affairs? We really do not care what Pakistan has to say on any topic related to anything except terrorism emanating from Pakistani citizens.
