Viewing with ‘concern’ the situation in Pakistan, India said it had tightened security at its borders with the strife-torn country as it feared infiltration by militants.
New Delhi favoured stability in Pakistan and hoped the ‘transition’ there would be peaceful.
“We are very worried about what is happening in Pakistan.
We are concerned. We have tightened our borders tremendously and are on our guard,” National Security Adviser M K Narayanan told journalists accompanying Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on his two-day visit to Russia.
He said India will not lower its guard and take all steps to check infiltration.
Commenting on the prevailing situation in Pakistan, Narayanan said the Prime Minister has consistently maintained that India wants a stable Pakistan.
“We want a stable Pakistan but more importantly an unstable Pakistan means increased problems and aggravated militancy within our borders,” he said.
