VADODARA: Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday slammed Pakistan for not acting against terrorists operating from its soil despite India providing it evidence several times.

Sitharaman told reporters here that Pakistan did not want to eliminate terror.

“Pakistan is interested in promoting terrorism. It does not want to eliminate terrorism,” the senior BJP leader said when asked about Pakistan stonewalling dossiers on terrorists supplied by India.

“Not just this government, but even earlier Governments have given dossier after dossier, evidence after evidence but Pakistan has done nothing on them,” she said.

Talking about the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai by Pakistani terrorists, she said even the first court in the neighbouring country had not completed the job of trying the accused. (AGENCIES)
