| India should attack Pak, B'desh to dismantle terror camps: BJP | | | PANAJI, AUG 12
BJP today demanded that India attack Pakistan and Bangladesh "to dismantle terrorist centres" in these countries.
"I demand that after taking the international community into confidence, India attack Pakistan to dismantle terrorist centres," BJP President Rajnath Singh told reporters here. "Not only Pakistan but Bangladesh should also be attacked where terrorist centres are operating," he added.
Refusing to name any specific international body, Singh said international support should be garnered before such attacks.
Singh, who is in Goa on his two-day tour which started yesterday, said that Indian government should use its diplomatic skills to convince the international community.
On asked as to why BJP could not attack these two countries during the party's tenure, Singh said then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had specifically told Pakistan President Parvez Musharaff that there will be no (no) talks with Pakistan till they gave a commitment to stop cross border terrorism.
"Only when Musharaff made the commitment, the dialogue was started," he said.
"Neighbouring countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka are becoming a hub of terrorism. This situation is posing grave danger to security of India," Singh said.
BJP president accused the Union government of being "silent and not doing" anything to curb terrorist activities. "It is not a secret that ISI is involved in terrorist attacks in India," he said.
Singh demanded that India stop all confidence-building measures with Pakistan and seek international community's help to declare Pakistan as a terrorist state.
About Nepal, Singh said India should intervene in the affairs of Nepal to ensure that Maoists did not take over the country.
"If they (Maoists) want to come into mainstream, we have no objection," he said.
