US will press Pak as 'hard' as possible on terror: Hillary Clinton

NEW DELHI: Admitting that counter-terrorism was "first and foremost" on its minds after last week's Mumbai bomb blasts, the US on Tuesday pledged "full" support to India's efforts to protect itself from terror attacks, and said it will pressPakistan as "hard" as it can on terror.

After the second round of Indo-US strategic dialogue with her counterpart external affairs minister S M Krishna, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pointed out that the issue of homeland security and counter-terrorism was given a special emphasis, saying both sides were exploring ways to protect the two countries from the scourge of terrorism.

Asserting that it has been made clear to Pakistan that confronting violent extremism of all sorts is in its interest, Clinton said, "We do not believe that there are any terrorists who should be given safe haven or a free pass by any government, because left unchecked the consequences of that kind of terrorist activity or intimidation can become very difficult to manage and control."

At a joint press conference with Krishna, she said in the aftermath of the attacks of 2008 in Mumbai, the US had made it very clear that there was an absolute international responsibility to cooperate to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The US has made that equally forcefully clear to Pakistan that it has a special obligation to do so transparently, fully and urgently, Clinton said.

"And it is US policy, we believe the perpetrators need to be brought to justice and have urged Pakistan to do so. Obviously, there is a limit to what both the US and India can do but we intend to continue to press as hard as possible," she said.

She was replying to a query about Pakistan failing to bring to justice the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, raising questions on US' claim of pressurising Pakistan on India-directed terror issue.

Maintaining that the US was encouraged by the discussions between India and Pakistan, Clinton said, "We think this is the most promising approach to encourage both sides to build more confidence between them and work to implement the kinds of steps that will demonstrate the improved atmosphere that is so necessary for us to deal with the underlying problem of terrorism."

Both Krishna and Clinton also underscored the importance of elimination of terrorist sanctuaries in Pakistan for regional stability and security and for Pakistan's future, according to a joint statement after the meeting.

The US secretary of state said Pakistan was a "key ally" in the fight against terrorism and that the US has made the point repeatedly to its Pakistani colleagues that terrorists threaten both of them. "We recognise that Pakistan must act on its own behalf first and foremost to protect its own territory and sovereignty and to protect the lives of the people of Pakistan," she said.

She said the US has made it clear that it wants a long term relationship with Pakistan based on common interests including a mutual recognition that they cannot tolerate a safe haven for terrorists anywhere and when we know the location of terrorists whose intentions are clear and need to work together in order to prevent those terrorists from taking innocent lives and threatening institutions of state.

Pointing out that there was a great deal of cooperation between the US and India with respect to counter-terrorism not only sharing of information but also very clear operational discussions, planning and investigation, she said "...lot of the terrorist networks that threaten you also threaten us."

So this is a mutually cooperative and essential operational relationship and in the meantime, the two countries are going to increase our cooperation in this area, she said.

US policies regarding middle east are the source of "islamic terrorism". Unless these hypocrites change their policies, terrorism will remain. Pakistan has given far more sacrifices then anyone in this stupid war on terror and it hurts that these animals don't even consider that fact and continue to blame Pakistan for not doing enough.

I am glad that Indians are going to taste a bit of American pie after gobbling the Russian salt meat for decades. Americans do not know how to call this decisive defeat in Afghanistan a Victory and save face . A ragtag army of Taliban taught them a lesson never to forget. But as shameless as they are, about to indulge in to another conflict and in future, China will teach them another lesson not to forget.

Hilary Clinton made her self a Jocker. She is not to take serious. Her jumps in last few months confirm that this lady has no plan.

Indians i tell you again be ready for that what you have done to pakistan and it is not to be happy, i can assure you.

Pakistan is a brave nation with 180 millions muslims and Islamic Atomic Power. Only this truth should make your laugh away.

For each $ you spent against Pakistan you should start saving 10$ for your security.

Allah's blessings are with Pakistan (Islam ka Qilla)

Hilary Clinton should worry about US disaster economy rather to say Bullshit from her bi_ch mouth.

جب آپ بھارت کے ليے امريکی تعاون کے حوالے سے اپنے تحفظات کا اظہار کرتے ہیں تو آپ کو اس پورے خطے ميں امريکہ کی جانب سے اپنے دوستوں اور اتحاديوں کو دی جانے والی امداد اور تعاون کا تقابلی جائزہ لينا ہو گا جو کہ غير جانب داری اور توازن کے اصولوں پر مبنی ہے۔

اس ميں کوئ شک نہيں کہ امريکہ بھارت کو ايک دوست اور ديرپا اتحادی سمجھتا ہے بالکل اسی طرح جيسے امريکہ اور پاکستان کے مابين تعلقات کئ دہائيوں سے موجود ہيں۔

عالمی سطح پر دو ممالک کے درميان تعلقات کی نوعيت کا تعين براہراست زمينی حقائق اور مشترکہ اقتصادی اور طويل المدت مفادات اور حکمت عملی کی بنياد پر ہوتا ہے۔ اس تناظر ميں امريکہ، بھارت اور پاکستان کے مابين کے تعلقات ميں کئ نشيب و فراز آۓ ہيں۔

بھارت اور پاکستان دو مختلف ممالک ہيں جن کی ضروريات بالکل مختلف ہيں۔ امريکہ ان دونوں ايشيائ ممالک سے ان کے باہمی تنازعات سے قطع نظر مثبت اور دوررس تعلقات کا خواہاں ہے۔ امريکہ کے نزديک اس حوالے سے معاملہ يہ نہيں ہے کہ دونوں ميں سے کسی ايک کا انتخاب کرے۔

پاکستان کی حدود کے اندر کسی دہشت گروہ يا غير رياستی عناصر کی جانب سے بھارت سميت کسی بھی دوسرے ملک کے خلاف دہشت گردی کی کوئ بھی کاروائ دونوں ممالک کے تعلقات پر منفی اثرات مرتب کرے گی جس کے نتيجے ميں سارے خطے ميں عدم استحکام کی فضا پيدا ہو گي۔ ايسے واقعات کسی بھی اعتبار سے پاکستان کے مفاد ميں نہیں ہیں۔ حکومت پاکستان اس حقيقت سے آگاہ ہے اور اس بات کی ضرورت کو تسليم کرتی ہے کہ مستقبل ميں ايسے واقعات کی روک تھام کے ليے ہر ممکن اقدامات اٹھانے کی ضرورت ہے۔

وزير خارجہ ہيلری کلنٹن کے دورہ بھارت اور وہاں پر ان کے بيان ميں فريقين کے مابين رائج خليج کو دور کرنے اور تعلقات کی مضبوطی کے ليے کی جانے والی انھی کاوشوں کو اجاگر کيا گيا ہے۔
