No let-up in cross-border terrorism: MEA slams Pak

India has once again issued a strong rebuke to Pakistan for its continued support of terrorism, stating there has been no reduction in cross-border terror activities targeting the country.

In its official report for 2024, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) highlighted that despite repeated diplomatic efforts, Pakistan has failed to take concrete, verifiable, and irreversible steps to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure operating from its territory.

The report stated that several UN-designated terrorists and terrorist organisations continue to operate freely in Pakistan, and the country has not shown any sincerity in delivering justice for the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

Tensions between the two nations escalated earlier this year after the Pahalgam terror attack in April, which claimed 26 lives. In retaliation, India conducted targeted strikes on nine terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The MEA emphasised that India continues to face not only cross-border terrorism but also a barrage of hostile propaganda and disinformation campaigns sponsored by Pakistan to malign India’s image on global platforms. These attempts, the ministry noted, are unequivocally rejected by the Indian government.

The Government of India continued to engage the international community on its position as well as Pakistan’s role in aiding and abetting terrorism in the region, particularly in Jammu & Kashmir, the report said.

Pakistan-sponsored terrorism remains a core concern. India has persistently asked Pakistan to respect the January 2004 commitment of not allowing territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India.

However, there had been no let-up in cross-border terrorism, it said. “The use of military-grade weapons, drones, communication equipment and under-ground tunnels for infiltration by terrorists, as well as smuggling of arms and narcotics into India across the Line of Control and the international boundary continues,” the report said.

India has consistently urged Pakistan to take concrete, verifiable and irreversible steps to curb terrorism emanating from Pakistan. Several UN-designated terrorists and similar entities continue to thrive in Pakistan. “It has not demonstrated any sincerity in delivering justice to the families of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks,” the report said.

Terror has two parts on ground , sender and receiver,who gives local support, rest is conspiracy, funding , what not . So hit local support, end one side , rest is then matter of survillance and intelligence across border, need to set up a network across LOC .

We have very poor intelligence network on LOC as Pakistani military allows the exit , so we must do surveillance of their post as that the real launch pads and hit it .
