New Delhi, Jan 16: India today said it would continue to pursue with other neighbouring countries to emulate the example set by Bhutan to neutralize Indian insurgent groups operating from their territories.
"The Saarc summit held in Islamabad will hopefully provide the necessary impetus to these countries to act accordingly," Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani told a meeting of Chief Secretaries and Directors General of Police here.
The Deputy Prime Miniter said the action taken by the Royal Bhutan Army against the banned Ulfa, NDFB and KLO has been a "major breakthrough".
"This became possible as result of constant efforts made by the government at the diplomatic level with the King of Bhutan," he said, hoping that the development would make such groups in the North East realise the futility of violence and come forward to resolve outstanding issues through talks within the constitutional framework.
"The government would continue to pursue with the other neighbouring countries to emulate the example set by Bhutan so that Indian insurgent groups in these countries are also neutralized," he said.
India has been voicing concern over reports that insurgents and terrorists were operating from Bangladesh, Myanmar and Nepal. The three countries have also given assurance to India that they would not allow their soil to be misused by anti-India elements. Bureau Report
