LAHORE: Indian Defence Minister AK Antony on Saturday asked Islamabad to shut down 42 terrorist camps which, according to him, are functioning on Pakistani territory if it wants Indo-Pak talks to succeed.
Pakistan has not made any serious attempt to disband the camps that are functioning close to Jammu and Kashmir. The decision for bilateral talks has been made consciously and it was not an ad hoc one, the Times of India quoted Antony as saying in Thiruvananthapuram.
Although there was no breakthrough [at the foreign secretary talks] ... the process [of talks] will continue, he added.
The minister said the central Home Ministry and the Jammu and Kashmir government had evolved a formula to check infiltrations and help terrorists return to normal life.
Many have surrendered too. With the conditions becoming normal, there is an increase in tourist arrivals in Kashmir. Attempts for terrorist infiltration [still exist] ... [but] the armed forces are vigilant on the border, he said.
About the US supply of arms to Pakistan, Antony said Washington should make sure that the weapons were used against militants along the Pak-Afghan border.
