The new US intelligence threat assessment report may have called out Islamabad for supporting anti-India activities on its soil, but New Delhi is displeased with Washington using the term “militant groups” in the report instead of “terrorist groups” being provided safe haven by Pakistan on the territory under its control. Through diplomatic channels, India has shared its objection and displeasure over this issue with the Biden administration, sources told The Sunday Guardian. This kind of milder and softer approach emboldens terrorist organisations and Pakistan state actors as well, sources said. This message was given to the diplomats who were accompanying the US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo when she met with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval, sources said. “The security issues also figured during the trade-centric interactions,” sources said. Similarly, while attending the upcoming Quad summit in Sydney in May, Prime Minister Narendra will also urge the US and the global community to be much harsher and tougher against terrorist organisations based in Pakistan.
