Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is expected to raise the issue regarding the alarmingly increasing terrorism, which have their roots in Pakistan, while holding talks with the US President Barack Obama. He is also expected to stress the need for dismantling the infrastructure of terrorism.
"We will raise the issue of terror groups operating from Pakistan's soil”, said Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao when asked if Manmohan Singh would be urging Obama to pressurize Pakistan for tackling terrorism.
"We have always emphasised the need for Pakistan to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism," she said.
"The US fully understands the depth of our concerns. It's an ongoing cooperation," Rao said.
She also said that expanding counter-terror cooperation with the US is high on the agenda when Manmohan Singh meets Obama Tuesday as his first state guest. A new framework is expected to be formed for boosting counter-terror cooperation.
