Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that most acts of terrorism across the world will have some links to Pakistan and blamed Islamabad for the strained Indo-Pak ties.
Speaking in New York, yesterday, at the Council on Foreign Relations, a prominent think tank, the minister said that most acts of terrorism across the world will have some footprint or the other as far as our neighbor is concerned.
Jaitley was referring to a number of terror attacks which are linked to Pakistan. Afghanistan often blames Pakistan-based terror groups for carrying out attacks in the war-torn country.
Jaitley said India made many efforts to improve the ties with Pakistan over the last few years but every time there was a negative reaction.
The minister said India’s relationship with all its smaller neighbours has significantly improved. He said whether it is Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar or Nepal, we have an excellent relationship with them.
