‘India wants a stable Pakistan’

Daily Times Monitor

LAHORE: India wants a stable Pakistan and is concerned about instability in its periphery, The Times of India on Monday reported Indian officials as saying.

“We are very worried about Pakistan,” National Security Adviser MK Narayanan was reported as telling reporters accompanying Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Moscow.

India expects increased infiltration from Pakistan-based terrorist groups in the coming weeks, the Times reported.

“In the past few weeks, Indian security forces had registered an increased intensity of militant incidents in Jammu and Kashmir, the recent militant strike in Sopore being a case in point,” the paper quoted Narayanan as saying.

“Pakistan is in a state of transition and we would like to see a Pakistan at peace with itself,” the report said quoting Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon. It said India would not be overly concerned about who rules Pakistan.
