Pak's sponsorship of terror condemnable: India

July 27, 2010 19:55 IST

Sharply reacting to reports of Pakistan's military intelligence agency ISI-backed terrorism against it, India on Tuesday said sponsorship of terror, as an instrument of policy, was "wholly condemnable" and demanded stopping of terror activities from across the border.

Responding to the ISI-related reports on 'Wikileaks', the spokesperson of the External Affairs Ministry said, "We have seen media reports about classified information, supposedly from US government sources, put out in public domain, on support to terrorism by ISI-Pakistans military intelligence agency.

"Sponsorship of terrorism, as an instrument of policy, is wholly condemnable and must cease forthwith", the spokesperson said.

The utilization of territory under Pakistan's control to provide sanctuaries for recruiting and sustaining terrorist groups and to direct terrorist activity against neighbours must stop if our region is to attain its full potential for peaceful development," the spokesperson said.
