UPA policy on terrorism, Pakistan deeply flawed, says Advani

Bhubaneswar, April 1: The Congress-led central government’s policy on terrorism was “deeply flawed”, Bharatiya Janata Party leader L K Advani said here on Wednesday while expressing “shock” at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s statement about India and Pakistan jointly fighting terrorism.“I am shocked by the statement by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh reiterating his earlier stand that India and Pakistan should jointly fight the menace of terrorism,” the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate told reporters. He was responding to Manmohan Singh’s remark on Tuesday on the sidelines of the civil investiture ceremony in Rashtrapati Bhavan. “I have always said that India and Pakistan have to face jointly the scourge of terrorism,” the prime minister had said while expressing his sympathies to Pakistan over the terror attack on a police academy near Lahore.
