NEW DELHI: Pakistan's attitude towards tackling terrorism has "altered", a "concrete" development that India should take note of, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao has said. 

"I think the prism through which they see this issue has definitely been altered," Rao told Karan Thapar on "Devil's Advocate" programme on CNN-IBN. 

She was replying to a question on whether India saw a change in Pakistan's attitude towards terrorism during the recently concluded Foreign Secretary-level talks. 

Asked whether it was a positive development, Rao said it was an outcome that India must take note of. 

"I think when they speak of the fact that non-state elements in this relationship need to be tackled, that we must look at safe havens and sanctuaries, that we must look at fake currency, we must look at all the aspects that are concerned with the business of terror, I think that is a concrete development," she said. 

Its good if their attitude toward international terrorism is, indeed, changed; they have to demonstrate the same by locking up all terrorists operating out of Pakistan irrespective of their nationality as well as irrespective of whether their targets are Pakistan or India or any other Foreign Country!

India and Pakistan are set to review nuclear related confidence building measures (CBMs) at the Foreign Office and Foreign Secretary-level talks in Islamabad. And though both sides do not expect major results and disagree on the core issue at the talks – Kashmir or terrorism -- Government sources here reposed faith in a sustained dialogue process to narrow the trust deficit and build understanding for the eventual resolution of issues of discord between the two nations.

India wants the expectations from the Foreign Secretary talks to be "realistic’’ given the history and complexity of Indo-Pak ties. "Dialogue is a process. We should not expect a decision. We should go step by step," said the sources.

On the recent face off between warships of India and Pakistan clouding the talks, the sources cautioned against whipping up a frenzy though they claimed the Pakistani warship had displayed aggressive behaviour in the past as well.

Will something comes out of this one of the several many meetings?

Mr. Salman Bashir, Pak. F.Secty. need not interpret Indian Authorities on Dr. Singh's Agenda!

Brickbats, Bouquets & Backfeeds are welcome on prmadhura@yahoo.com

Yesterday, while trying to cover up his scare of the Imminent imposition of Marshal Law in Pakistan, he was accusing the Indian Political and Military leadership of expressing their views (in response to Osama Bin Laden's killing by USA) that are contrary to our Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh's apparent agenda with Pakistan.

Actually Indian Leadership doesn't need an interpreter of this agenda by the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan, who himself, along with all his bossed, has been in the dark on the sheltering of Laden, for the previous five years by their own Army and ISI.

In India, the Military and Intelligence doesn't have any conflicting interests to pursue unlike those of Pakistan.
