"Government of India has been concerned for quite some time that the steps we have asked the Government of Pakistan
to take to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism in that country have not been adequately taken," Minister of State for

Maintaining that India has not seen "any evidence" of Pakistan dismantling the training camps for terrorists despite
