I can’t change Pakistan’s attitude: Chidambaram

New Delhi, November 27: India hopes that international opinion and its pressure combined with refusal to engage in a dialogue will force Pakistan to change its attitude towards terror groups operating from there.

Home Minister P Chidambaram said there have been several attempts by terrorists from across the border as well as modules within the country to launch terror attacks like 26/11 in India and these have been successfully foiled by the security agencies with better intelligence inputs.

“I can’t change Pakistan’s attitude. I can only hope that international opinion, Indian pressure and India’s refusal to engage Pakistan in a dialogue, will force Pakistan to change its attitude,” he told a TV channel.

“We have said that always,” he said on Pakistan not abandoning its policy on supporting terror groups post 26/11. However, the Minister said, looking at Islamabad’s attitude, India has strengthened its security manifold and is now better prepared in comparison to what it was an year ago.
