Expressing disappointment over the United States not putting enough pressure on Pakistan to stop cross-border terrorism, Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani on Saturday said India expected countries sworn to fight terrorism not to help any state that patronised the scourge.
Winding up his three-day visit to Thailand, Advani also ruled out resumption of dialogue with Islamabad saying, "There is no point to talk to Pakistan unless it abandoned terrorism."
"Pakistan gave arms to terrorists, financed them and provided asylum. Unless the terrorist camps are dismantled there will be no talks it is pointless and purposeless," he said.
Asked if India was satisfied with US approach towards Pakistan, he said "We are disappointed and we have conveyed our disappointment."
The US probably felt that dislodging President Pervez Musharraf would not help it in the global fight against terrorism.
"If they put more pressure on Pakistan, maybe the present leader could be dislodged and the new leader may not be as helpful as the present one in supporting the fight against terrorism," he said.
