| Krishna: India and Bangla must combat terror together |
| 2011-07-09 |
| After receiving reports that Pakistani terror groups are trying to set up bases in Bangladesh, India's Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna said on Friday it is imperative for the two nations to combat terror together. During his three-day visit to Bangladesh, described as highly successful coming as it did after the controversy over PM Manmohan Singh remarks about ISI and Jamaat-e-Islami, Krishna raised the issue of terror camps allegedly being run by the ISI in the neighbouring country. He told a leading Bangladeshi think-tank, "We face new challenges and non-traditional security threats. The rise of religious fundamentalism, extremism and terrorism are not unfamiliar to our region. Such forces sap away the strength of our societies, threaten our state systems and are an impediment to our advancement." |
