Shinde blames terrorist infiltration on Pakistan
22 Oct 2012 2:38 AM GMT
India’s Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde Sunday targeted Pakistan for its help to terrorists infiltrating from across the border into the country.
‘We have information that Pakistan is helping terrorists to enter our territory. We have intelligence inputs. But we are on an alert,’ Shinde said here on the sidelines of an event to mark the police commemoration day.
He said his ministry had issued directions to all security forces to be extra vigilant during the festival season and ensure peace. ‘I also appeal to people to be extra careful,’ he said soon after laying a wreath at a memorial for central and state police forces.
Referring to J&K, Shinde said security forces cannot be withdrawn from the state till peace returns entirely.
‘When I was in Jammu and Kashmir, locals asked me to remove the army from the Kashmir valley. But I told them that we can’t do so till the situation is peaceful. I will remove the army when the situation is peaceful,’ he said.
Shinde was in the border state about a week ago on a security review tour when he met central security forces personnel posted there, apart from the civilian administration, to get apprised of the prevailing situation there.
