Pakistan is yet to take “concrete action” on India’s concerns and create an atmosphere free of terrorism, which is necessary to facilitate any possible engagement between the two sides, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday. Modi made the remarks when the issue of Pakistan came up during his bilateral meeting with Chinese President XI Jinping on the margins of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Sumiton the Kyrgyzstan Capital of Bishkek. During a separate bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Modi accepted an invitation to be the the chief guest at the Eastern Economic Forum to be held in Vladivostok during September 4-6. The forum will be followed by the annual India-Russia Summit at the same venue, foreign secretary vijay Gokhale said. “The Prime Minister did inform President xi Jinping that Pakistan needs to create an atmosphere free of terrorism and that at this stage, we did not see this happening, we did not see this happening as yet, and that, therefore, we expect Pakistan to take concrete action on the issues that Indian has proposed in the areas of concern that we have flagged to Pakistan,” Gokhale told a news briefing after the meeting. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan too, is in Bishkek for the summit though Indian officials have ruled out the possibility of a bilaiteral meeting. Modi’s remarks made it clear there is little possibility of an immediate breakthrough in improving relations between the two sides, which nosedived after the suicide attack by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohmamed (JeM) at Pulwama in Kashmir on February 14. Modi also told XI that India has a “consistent position on Pakistan”, which includes discussing all issues through a bilateral mechanism and looking for peaceful settlement through negotiation, Gokhale said. The terror attack on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) contingent that killed five security personnel in Anantnag on June 12 appeared to have been carried out by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mo-hammed, people aware of he Investigations said on Thursday, adding that the deployment process of the force could undergo a major change to bolster the security apparatus in Jammu & Kashmir. Motorcycle-borne militants gunned down fie CRPF troopers on one of the busiest roads in south Kashmir’s Anantnag on Wednesday in the first major terrorist strike since the killing of 40 soldiers by a suicide bomber in Pulwama on Ferbruary 14. Shortly after the attack on Wednesday, an obscure group named AL-Umar Mujahideen claimed responsbility for the attack. “The group is largely defunct without any following” a senior home ministary official said on condition of anonymity. Al-Umer Mujahiden claiming responsbility for the attack as against the JeM gives Pakistan deniability,” he added.Another official of the home ministry said the CRPF soldiers killed in the daylight attack were an “easy target” for a terrorist strike. CRPF soldiers were positioned in the open… this may change.” The official said asking not to be named.They can be placed inside a police station or a fortified area and called in when required he added, Another official of the home ministry said the CRPF soldiers killed in the daylight attack were an easy target for a terrorist strike.
