India to act if Pakistan doesn't mend ways: Sinha

The international community had lost its right to lecture India by displaying "double standards" in tackling terrorists, he told The Guardian daily in an interview in London.

"It [the international community] came and told us this is the promise President Pervez Musharraf has made [to curb cross-border infiltration]). Yet, Musharraf has clearly failed to deliver," Sinha said.

"There is tremendous anger in the minds of the people of India. They are angry even with us. They feel we have taken a very soft line with Pakistan," he said.

The minister said, "Terrorism in Kashmir is entirely imported and exported by Pakistan. The international community calls Pakistan a stalwart ally, so the terrorists in Pakistan are bad and the terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir are good.

"If the international community wants to live with this definition, then good luck to the international community. But it is the same Al Qaeda fellow who comes into Jammu and Kashmir, who goes to Bali, who goes to Singapore, who goes to the US and who comes to Europe."
