NEW DELHI:

France today said it stands by India in the fight against cross-border terrorism and asked Pakistan to act against terror groups operating from its soil, hours after Indian Air Force jets destroyed a terrorist camp in Balakot, 80 km from the Line of Control.

"France recognises India's legitimacy to ensure its security against cross-border terrorism and asks Pakistan to put an end to the operations of terrorist groups established on its territory," the French government said in a statement today.

France also asked both India and Pakistan to "exercise restraint so as to avert any risk of military escalation and preserve strategic stability in the region."

The air strikes come over 10 days after 40 CRPF soldiers were killed in a suicide bombing in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama; the attack was claimed by Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed, whose chief Masood Azhar is roaming freely in Pakistan.

Last week, France said it will move a proposal at the United Nations in a "couple of days" to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist. This will be the second time France - a permanent member of the UN Security Council - will be party to such a proposal at the UN.


The French decision was discussed between Philippe Etienne, Diplomatic Advisor to the French President and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, news agency PTI had reported quoting French sources.

In 2017, the US, supported by the UK and France, had moved a proposal at the UN's 'Sanctions Committee 1267' to ban the chief of the Pakistan-based terror group. The proposal was blocked by China.

COMMENT
Since March 2016, China has been the only member in the United Nations Security Council to put a hold on India's application with all other 14 members of the UNSC supporting New Delhi's bid to place Masood Azhar on the 1267 sanctions list, which would subject him to an assets freeze and travel ban.

An oppressive regime barks in favor of another oppressive regime. Color me surprised. The way they're handling their internal security pretty soon molotov cocktail would be the most famous drink in Paris (something which is already quite popular in sirinagar)

Wait till the French recognises Pakistan's legitimacy to respond and retaliate to an aggression.

Macron should mind his own domestic business in trouble. Also France as a supporter and funder of terrorism can lecture a country about terrorism only in ONE way not the other.

Pakistan needs to expel the French ambassador from Pakistan if true.

Pussy army of India now looking to the world super powers for protection!
Now is too late... now combined all of US, Australia, Germany, Israel, Iran, Afghanistan... can't save your forthcoming shame.
You were warned, if you do any misadventure... there will be no more bird chirping and there will be no more among you.
It's about time you will pay for the 100'000 rapes and 8'000'000 murders, in this world as well in here after.

Oh great sir. They are giving warning. For once nobody talked about war and it's consiquence.
Only warning. You support them ? I would have loved to see a discourse where they talked about how we stated or you started this war montermon. But the best part is our mistake is hidden by great tall claim s of your warning .

Thank you France for your support. All civilised countries should come together and eliminate these terrorists if Pakistan is unable to eliminate them from her territories themselves (we should help pakistan), and yes, it's perfectly legitimate - like France mentioned - to ensure security against terror. It's a fundamental right of any sovereign country.
