BJP leader L K Advani has told visiting Pakistan Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani that there is a growing acknowledgment in India that more Pakistanis are being killed by terrorists than Indians,but the perception is that Islamabad is not pro-actively acting against terror groups targeting India.

8230; the shared view here also is that while Pakistan is taking head on terrorist groups such as Tahreik-e-Taliban-e-Pakistan,which has been targeting Pakistan,it continues to provide assistance to groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba and Hizbul Mujahideen whose target is India8230;. An even more distressing aspect of continuing Indo-Pak tension on the issue of terrorism is the safe haven Pakistan still provides to declared terrorists and absconders like Dawood Ibrahim. If taking a cue from Saudi Arabia,Pakistan can hand over Dawood Ibrahim to India,it can overnight change public perception in India about Pakistan, the BJP veteran has written in his blog.
