US warns it will not hesitate to act alone if Pak did not act against terror

US warns it will not hesitate to act alone if Pak did not act against terror

New Delhi/Washington, Oct 23 (UNI) India’s diplomatic offensive for bringing pressure on Pakistan for sporting terrorist activities against neighbouring countries has yielded more result with the US warning the country that it will not hesitate to act alone, when necessary. In fact, it was the result of an aggressive stand taken by India in the wake of Uri attack that Pakistan approached the US to bring India on table for talks, according to reports in Pakistan media. New Delhi has made it clear it would continue to maintain pressure on the International community to act for making Pakistan realise that it could not always go with harbouring terror with impunity. The latest warning to Pakistan has come from Adam Szubin, acting Under Secretary on Countering the Financing of Terrorism while speaking at the Paul H Nitze School of Advanced International Studies. Noting that Pakistan was itself a victim of terror attack and the civilian government was taking action against terrorists, Mr Szubin said the problem lay in the presence of forces within the Pakistani government – specifically in Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI – that refuse to take similar steps against all the terrorist groups active in Pakistan, tolerating some groups – or even worse. "We continue to urge our partners in Pakistan to go after all terrorist networks operating in their country. We stand ready to help them. But there should be no doubt that while we remain committed to working with Pakistan to confront ongoing terrorist financing and operations, the US will not hesitate to act alone, when necessary, to disrupt and destroy these networks,' he said. After bringing pressure on the US and Western countries, India also worked intensively to bring the regional countries on one platform to voice their resolve against fighting cross border terror. New Delhi had ensured the collapse of the SAARC Summit which was to be held in Pakistan in November after the Uri terror attack that left 19 Indian jawans dead. And later, it added to the isolation of Pakistan at the BRICS when it invited BIMSTEC countries that covered almost whole of South Asian nations and all SAARC members minus Pakistan. 'The Nation' recently quoted a US official saying, "Pakistan had complained to the US that India was avoiding talks despite multiple offers from Pakistan". "Pakistan did not want the region to be pushed to war ,’’ a Pakistan Foreign Ministry official told it, The Nation said. The US had asked Pakistan to improve its "anti-terror image’’ as it tried to persuade India to begin dialogue, another official told the newspaper. UNI NAZ PS RSA 1313
