NEW DELHI, March 27 (UPI) -- India's national security adviser said terrorist attacks against India may continue as Pakistan's attitude remains unchanged.
M.K. Narayanan said there was no change in the attitude of Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence spy agency toward terrorism.
"The gravest situation is in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. India has every reason to worry about training camps. There is no change in the ISI's attitude to mentor the Lashkar and Jaish (organizations). Attacks (on India) are likely to continue," Narayanan said while delivering the Air Marshal P.C. Lal Memorial Lecture in New Delhi.
He said about 1,000 terror cells were dismantled in the country since 2004.
He, however, welcomed the formation of the new democratic government in Pakistan, saying he hoped it would weaken forces of fundamentalism.
"We don't discount the presence of strong pockets of anti-India sentiment (in Pakistan) such as among intelligence agencies like the ISI. China and Pakistan were collaborating in the missile and nuclear areas," Narayanan said.
He also said Afghanistan was at the receiving end of Pakistan's activities, adding safeguarding the Karzai regime in Afghanistan was essential to India's interests.
