'India isn't supporting miscreants in Pak'

Lahore, Apr 25: US Special Representative on Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke has said there is no evidence that India is supporting violence in Pakistan.

"If the Indians were supporting those miscreants in Pakistan that would be extraordinarily bad, really dangerous, but they are not doing so. There is no evidence that Indians are support miscreants in western parts of Pakistan or in Balochistan," the Daily Times quoted Holbrooke as saying in an interview with a private TV channel.

Saying that India was the second largest country in the world and an important one, he pointed out that if Pakistan has to be helped then talks with its neighbours including China, India and Afghanistan was neccessary.

He said India had given about a billion dollars in assistance to Afghanistan, and it should not be a cause of concern for Pakistan. he added that Pakistan should be more concerned over the 'miscreants and militants in its western parts' and not India.
