Is US part of Pakistan’s anti-India terror, BJP asks
By IANSThursday, March 25, 2010
NEW DELHI - The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Thursday took exception to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying that “Pakistan’s struggles are my struggles”, asking if America was a party to anti-India terror activities emanating from Islamabad.
“Clinton’s statement at a meeting with Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi that ‘Pakistan’s struggles are my struggles’ amazingly belies an utter disregard for facts and history,” BJP spokesman Tarun Vijay said.
“Pakistan is also sponsoring a terror war against India. Is that also a part of Hillary Clinton’s war?”
“Who is struggling for ending terrorism in the region and strengthening democratic elements,” Vijay asked in a statement.
Tarun Vijay flayed the US for denying India access to David Headley, the Lashkar-e-Taiba activist who has confessed in a US court of plotting the Mumbai terror attack.
“Instead of strengthening a dictatorial power centre supported and bolstered by the (Pakistan) Army and ISI, the US would have done better by asking Pakistan’s dollar grabbing leaders to be actively helping India in its war on terror,” he said.
