Antony blames it on Pak
Tribune News Service

AK AntonyNew Delhi, September 15
Union defence minister AK Antony today pointed an accusing finger at Pakistan for supporting terror groups operating inside India.

“A large number of armed groups have sanctuaries in our neighbouring states who use these bases and resources to carry out acts of terrorism across India,” Antony said, adding that “militants are getting support from across the border and this is a fact.”

Antony was talking to the media on the sidelines of a seminar organised by the Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS) here.

The minister said the recent firing along the LoC was mainly an infiltration attempt by militants.

Earlier at the seminar, Antony said an India-specific waiver from the NSG was a recognition of India’s growing relevance in world affairs.

Lalu, who met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Congress president after Delhi blasts earlier in the day and discussed the situation in the wake of serial Delhi blasts on Saturday that claimed 24 lives, however, did not take Patil's name directly. 

“A special cabinet meeting should be called to discuss threadbare issues arising out of the blasts in Delhi,” he told reporters here, adding the Prime Minister assured him that he would call a meeting in a couple of days. He said UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi should also call an all-party meeting to debate the issue of terrorism. — PTI
