US President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have called on Pakistan to act to ensure that its territory is not used to launch militant attacks, the White House said in a joint statement.
"They strongly condemned cross-border terrorism, the use of terrorist proxies and called on Pakistan to take immediate action to ensure that no territory under its control is used for launching terrorist attacks," the White House said on Thursday.
There was no immediate reaction from Islamabad on the US-India statement.

Relations between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan have been fraught for years.

Since British colonial rule in the Indian subcontinent ended in 1947, India and Pakistan have fought three wars, two of them over the Muslim-majority Himalayan region of Kashmir, which they both claim in full but rule in part.
India has for years accused Pakistan of helping rebels who have battled Indian troops in India-administered Kashmir since the late 1980s.
Pakistan denies the accusation and says it only provides diplomatic and moral support for Kashmiris seeking self-determination according to several UN resolutions.
Most Kashmiris support the rebel cause that the territory be united either under Pakistani rule or as an independent country.

India revoked Kashmir's limited autonomy in 2019 and annexed the region — move Pakistan calls illegal and wants it rolled back.
India's unilateral decision led the two countries to downgrade their diplomatic ties.

"President Biden and Prime Minister Modi reiterated the call for concerted action against all UN-listed terrorist groups" the joint statement said.

US-Pakistan ties

India under Modi has taken an increasingly hardline on Pakistan, announcing an air strike in 2019 in response to an attack by a Kashmiri suicide bomber in which some 40 Indian soldiers were killed.

Pakistan denied any role in the attack and maintained the entire episode was a "false flag" operation aimed to boost PM Modi's ratings in elections.

In response to the air raid by India in Pakistan's Balakot area, Pakistan said it shot down two Indian jets and arrested a pilot, Abhinandan Varthaman, who was later released by then Imran Khan's government in a goodwill gesture.

The United States historically has been a close partner of Pakistan but its accusation that Islamabad's powerful military and intelligence apparatus had been supporting Afghanistan's Taliban saw Washington downgrade its ties with Islamabad.

The Biden administration has kept Pakistan at arm's length since the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, in contrast to warming relations with India.

Most Kashmiris support the rebel cause that the territory be united either under Pakistani rule or as an independent country.

Facts.

India has for years accused Pakistan of helping rebels who have battled Indian troops in India-administered Kashmir since the late 1980s.

Accusations.

 

[waz]

Besthi . It’s the usual but still a slap for the generals and their pet government.

 

[Mugen]

Generals are good pet dogs, but as dogs don't expect to be treated like humans. These shameless generals have destroyed the dreams and hopes of 220million Pakistanis, I hope they get what they deserve, and it's a lot worse than humiliation.

 

[Kuru]

I think Pakistan - more than any other country - should understand that keeping the terrorists to launch attack on neighbors is not a good idea, after all. Pakistan lost 60k+ lives due to ’good terrorists bad terrorists’ policy but, to everyone’s surprise, refuses to learn the lessons.

The economic damage this ‘good terrorist bad terrorist’ policy has caused is unparalleled. Look where Pakistan is now, roaming with the begging bowl from countries to countries, institutions to institutions , selling off Karachi port in the process.

Hopefully Pakistan will listen to the sane and rational advise US and India have given about terrorism and things will turn around for better.

 

[Skywalker]

being a patriotic Pakistan, I damn care about a dieing so called super power aka USA and its cartoon president who cant even walk properly, anyways an eye opener for the boot licking generals of Gate number 4.

 

[Mohsin A]

Pakistan will continue to get zaleel khawaar globally until the people decide to stand up against the establishment. Unfortunately, the appetite isn't there so the nation will continue to live in gulami. The army chief needs to be overthrown along with his collaborators.

 

[Cash GK]

In khan time they dare to speak like that....ah bawja harmi and asim cheep economist

 

[Trailer23]

WoW..., combined they have 2-balls.

Here's a message to both of 'em. Kiss my @$$.

We'll do what we want. They can get together every year at events like G20 & bring up this crap as much as they like. It won't do d!ck.

[Goenitz]

Accusations.

See the platform he is making these excuses. Did anybody rebuff him? No, then these accusations are accepted by the host and their media.

 

[Kuru]

Too bad ICJ didn’t believe it and ordered a stay on the verdict by Pak courts. I was hoping that this time the world will believe in Pakistan but nothing seems to work.

 

[Olympus81]

Not engaging in whataboutism but Kulbushan and the likes were not in Pakistan to spread peace.

The US and India can call out Pakistan, in some cases fairly, but to act as if they are the victims is hypocritical.

ICJ never said the charges were wrong .. just death penalty

Why the death penalty is wrong if the charges are correct about terrorism. We hanged Qasaab for the same thing you know.

And for APS massacre, please do submit another dossier. The previous one seems to have expired.
