Singh to meet Sharif today; to raise Pak-based terrorism

New York: In his first meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif later today, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is expected to strongly raise the issue of terrorism, and emphasise that the dialogue process cannot succeed



Setting the tone for the meeting, the Indian Prime Minister said at the UN General Assembly that the “terror machinery” in Pakistan, which receives “sustenance” there, must be shut down to allow progress in the dialogue process.

He said the “epicentre of terrorism” is in Pakistan and wanted the problem to be addressed.

At the same time, sources said, the Prime Minister is open to any new move that would help in establishing peace in the region and addressing the issues between the two countries.

One of these proposals is forming a joint mechanism to monitor tensions along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
