india has also demanded that more militant outfits like jaish-e-mohammad which were operating from pakistani soil should be banned, advani told 'etv' in an interview. growing international pressure was "unlikely to deter pakistan-sponsored terrorists to unleash terror in the valley," advani was quoted as saying in a release issued by the tv channel. while the world has come to realise that terrorism was a menace and needs to be confronted, "pakistan has certainly not and so are the pakistan-sponsored terrorist outfits", he said. he reiterated india's demand that the us should not just concentrate on afghanistan in its war against terrorism, but it should take action against all terrorist camps, outfits and all countries who have been harbouring terrorism, the release said. "it is said some time from some quarters that pakistan may change its perceptions on terrorism in kashmir for better .... but monday's incident (attack on the j&k assembly) has poured cold water on that," advani said.
