NEW DELHI: Pakistan must not use its territory for anti-India activity, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Thursday.
The warning comes following a fresh escalation of tensions on the Line of Control (LoC) between the two neighbours which emerged after the killing of five Indian soldiers in disputed Kashmir last week that India blames on Pakistani soldiers.
“India has always strived for friendship with its neighbouring countries,” Singh said during his annual address marking India’s independence day from the ramparts of the Red Fort in New Delhi.
“However, for relations with Pakistan to improve, it is essential that they prevent the use of their territory and territory under their control for any anti-India activity,” Singh said.
