New Delhi:India today said the confession by Pakistan based global terrorist Syed Salauddin of terrorist activities against India in a TV interview affirms the complicity of Pakistan’s state structure in using terrorist proxies as a matter of policy against the neighbours. Responding to a query regarding the interview telecast by a Pakistan TV Channel on July 2, MEA official Spokesperson Gopal Baglay said “the brazen admission by Syed Salauddin of perpetrating terrorist attacks on India and having the capacity to carry out such attacks at any place and time in India is a further proof of Pakistan’s continuing policy of cross border terrorism.''
The interview only highlighted the unabashed manner in which terrorist organisations and leaders enjoy freedom of operations in Pakistan, including access to terror financing and procurement and supply of weapons for terrorism, he said. It was a matter of deep regret that senior Pakistan functionaries continue to justify and defend the activities of such internationally designated terrorist entities and leaders who are responsible for killing thousands of innocent civilians over the past three decades, the Spokesperson said. "Pakistan must give up its policy of cross-border terrorism, fulfill its obligations under international resolutions and stop all activities of terrorists from the territory under Pakistan's control, " he said.
