On board Special Aircraft: On the eve of Indo-Pak Foreign Secretary-level talks, India on Tuesday said Pakistan has to do more on tackling terrorism but pointed out that the progress on the matter has not held the dialogue process to ransom.

"The acrimony of old times is no longer there (between India and Pakistan)," External Affairs Minister SM Krishna told reporters on board the special flight on his way back from Tajikistan.

"Pakistan has to do more on the issue of terrorism...But the issue of progress on terrorism has not held the dialogue process to ransom," he added.

Krishna's remarks came ahead of tomorrow's meeting between Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai and his Pakistani counterpart Jalil Abbas Jilani in New Delhi.

The meeting is taking place in the backdrop of the arrest of Zabiuddin, aka Abu Jundal, who has revealed that he, along with LeT founder Hafiz Saeed, was in the control room in Pakistan during 26/11 Mumbai carnage.

Krishna Kanth - Mumbai
SM Krishna: Please do more on terrorism! Pakistani Foreign Minister: Yes Mr. Krishna, we are creating more camps and also, we are training new perverts who can take jihad inside India. Not only that, we are getting weapons and money from US, which we will be diverting towards fighting you. We go around the begging bowl in our hand, but all that money will be diverted towards fighting you. We do not need electricity, education, polio vaccines. It is all un-Islamic. This is the best we are doing. Please do not complain like how the citizens of India do not complain inspite of multiple attacks! All they do is candlelight vigil and go to their homes! They do not question the politicians. So you see our ``business`` is flourishing. Please do not ever complain to us from next time.
