NEW DELHI (Agencies) Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Wednesday said Pakistan had not done enough to curb terror emanating from its soil but Indias western neighbour needed to be engaged in peace talks.
We are not a big player in Pakistan. But whatever our role, engagement is a commitment to our shared geography, Manmohan Singh said in his interaction with a group of Indian editors.
Asked his comments about the current situation in Pakistan and if he was undertaking a visit to that country anytime soon, he said: They have not done enough on terror. I still feel they need to do more. We need to keep engaging them.
To a question on Kashmir, Singh said: We have to be on our guard. We hope Pakistan will leave Kashmir alone, because they have their own share of internal problems. Tourists are returning. We have to keep our fingers crossed.
To a question, he said Transit through Pakistan - Pakistan is not ready. Afghan trucks can come up to Wagha. Afghanistan is quite keen. But we also have to reckon with Pakistans capacity to protect our enterprises. Situation on the ground is not that good.
About US pullout from Afghanistan, Singh said It does hurt us. It could hurt us. No one knows what is going to happen in Afghanistan. Yesterday, I was talking to the New Zealand Prime Minister, the war in Afghanistan does not enjoy large-scale public support. Thats the reality.
The Indian Prime Minister alleged although Pakistan continues to say that it does not provide state support to terrorism, but he said he doesnt have full trust about whatever that is happening within Pakistani army and government.
At the same time, Singh asserted that it was in the healthy interest of India that Pakistan retains democracy and there is no tension (in relations).
