Pakistan undoubtedly supports terrorism in India: Chomsky
April 20th, 2011 - 5:02 pm ICT by ANINew York, April 20(ANI): Pakistan has “undoubtedly” supported terrorist groups in Kashmir and terrorism in India, renowned scholar and author Professor Noam Chomsky has said.
Speaking about Pakistan’s outlook towards India, Chomsky said that the Pakistan military has a strategic doctrine that they have to have a military presence in Afghanistan to counter India.
“That’s a losing proposition because Pakistan cannot compete with India in terms of military force,” The Express Tribune quoted Chomski, as saying.
“Besides, the strategic position in Afghanistan doesn’t really mean anything in case of a war,” he added.
Chomski, who serves as Professor Emeritus at Cambridge University, also categorically pointed towards Pakistan’s hand in fuelling terrorism in India, especially the Kashmir region.
“Pakistan has undoubtedly supported terrorist groups in Kashmir and terrorism in India, which has made the situation worse,” he said. (ANI)
