Pursue a different line

Sir,- This is with reference to your editorial `Fine-tuning the anti-terror chorus' (Oct. 8) and Mr. Kuldip Nayar's article `Prepare an iron-clad case against Pak. terrorists' (Oct. 6). The continued low-key attention paid by the U.S. to India's concerns regarding cross-border terrorism is driven more by geopolitical sagacity than by pure selfish interests. The U.S. cannot afford to ignore Pakistan in the fight against terrorism. The political, military, religious, management of nuclear arsenal, civil and all such crucial systems in Pakistan continue to exhibit a state of instability. The U.S. and the U.K. have brought Pakistan under the umbrella of a worldwide coalition against terrorism thereby preventing these crucial systems from falling into the hands of extremist elements. So, it would be wise for India not to rock the boat.

India should pursue a different line of approach to tackle its concerns regarding cross-border terrorism.

Subramanian M.S.,
