New Delhi: India has raised the issue of terror outfits operating in Pakistan at the restricted meeting between US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the Hyderabad house on Monday.
Sources said while India was keen to take the dialogue process forward and remove the wrinkles in the ties between the two countires, it was the Pakistani army that was a stumbling block
Singh reportedly said that the top brass in Pakistan does not want the dialogue process to move forward. Unless this spoke in the wheel was removed or eased, the relationship between the two nations would remain troubled.
The prime minister also pointed out that while the Pakistani government was keen on talks, it was Pakistani army that was holding them back.
India also gave ample evidence of the terror outfits operating within Paksitan and told the US that these warlords are a threat to both India and the US.
The talks began with a one-on-one between the two leaders, followed by delegation-level discussions.
The Indian Express reports: Meanwhile, India and the United States have finalised at least four agreements -- on shale gas reserves, weather forecasting, health and energy cooperation programme -- by Sunday evening, top government sources told The Indian Express.
The agreements are expected to be signed at the Hyderabad House meeting.
Sources said Prime Minister will be accompanied by External Affairs minister S M Krishna, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Defence Minister A K Antony and Home Minister P Chidambaram.
A few more agreements are in the works as negotiations continued till late in the night, sources said. The two countries will call for a meeting of the joint working group, with focus on higher education -- expected to be reflected in the joint statement of the two leaders on Monday.
"Shale gas reserves" is a new area India is readying to tap and US companies are waiting with their technology. Shale deposits are found across the Gangetic plains, Assam, Rajasthan and many coastal areas but yet to be explored.
Recently, ONGC announced plans to start a pilot project in 2011. With a memorandum of understanding in place, the two governments can hope to find common ground to explore hitherto untapped sources of energy.
The two governments will look at another pact on 'energy cooperation programme'. This will broadly cover all sources of energy, including renewable source, and ties in with Obama's focus on climate change.
A pact on "weather forecasting" is also on the cards. This flows from the commitment both leaders shared last year -- when Singh visited the US in November 2009 -- that they looked forward to increase agricultural cooperation, promote agricultural research, etc.
A pact on establishing a 'regional global disease detection centre in India' and to build a partnership with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is also likely to be signed.
