In the real world, immeasurable hurt is caused by terrorists based in Pakistan who attack countries like India.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We all know the epicentre of terrorism in the world today is Pakistan. The world community has to come to grips with this harsh reality.
The world seems concerned with Pakistan primarily as an actor in global attempts to combat terrorism.
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as well as more recent attacks in Madrid, Spain, and London, England, showed in a very tragic way just how vulnerable many areas of the world are to these sorts of actions.
More terrorists and extremists have been captured or killed in Pakistan than in any place in the world.
There is some big thing about the world that produced all these people willing to kill themselves just to hurt us. On 9/11 we learned we're part of that world, in the same completely crazy, drastic and arbitrary ways it hits other countries.
Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.
India has a consistent and well-known position on terrorism. We oppose all acts of terrorism, wherever they occur. We have repeatedly said that no cause can justify violence and destruction, particularly aimed at civilians.
The Muslim world is deeply hurt by the campaign of violence initiated against our Palestinian brothers.
You must keep in mind that Pakistan has suffered the aftermaths of the Cold War, and that Cold War had left deep imprints on our society. We were the worst sufferers from the ills of the Afghan war.
In the calculus of western interests, there is no suffering, whatever its scale, which cannot be justified. Chechens, Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghans, Pakistanis are of little importance.
