The root of terror

It was much awaited good news for India and many other Asian countries, when the US finally termed Pakistan as one of the ‘safe havens\' for terrorists. US, in its State Department Country Report mentioned that terrorist outfits like LeT, JeM were operating within Pakistan as of 2016 and the state is playing an active role of providing them refuge.
India has been crying out loud on every global platform what its neighbour has been up to as the forces are bearing the brunt of it on a daily basis. China, on the other hand, consistently stuck with its tepid approach while dealing with Pakistan\'s terror problem. Three of the country\'s military installations in Pathakot, Uri and Nagrota have come under attack last year from a force with Pakistani origin and despite India\'s cry the top powers have only provided us assurances.
Every country is entitled to its opinion but accepting something that is evident is a wise move, especially when it comes to recognising the social evil of terrorism. After US tagged Pakistan ‘a safe haven\' for terrorists, it is expected that other major powers too will have a different stand towards our neighbour. But all eyes are upon China, Pakistan\'s closest ally, who has always opted to be neutral with them whilst dealing with terrorism. Hopefully its about time the Communist recognise how delicate the situation has become with Pakistan, who consistently refuse their role in harbouring Islamic extremists.
