BJP favours withdrawal of
MFN status to Pakistan

Even the US' policy towards Pakistan is not helping check terrorism and that American ambassador Robert Blackwill's remarks condemning the terrorist attack on Parliament appeared to be mere lip service, party spokesman V K Malhotra told reporters in Delhi.

"The US policy towards Pakistan is not enough to make Islamabad stop aiding and abetting terrorist activities in this country. Pakistan has now become a state backing terrorism and this is more so since the release of Masood Azhar, who heads the terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed," he said.

Malhotra demanded that the government take a tough stand against Bangladesh, where, he alleged, a large number of terrorist camps had sprung up and minorities were being attacked.
