NRIs deplore Pakistan's support of terrorists

Over 200 Non Resident Indians held a protest rally in Silicon valley condemning Pakistan's active support of terrorists and urging the United States government to take effective measures to combat terrorism of any 'form and kind everywhere in the world'.

"This rally marks the start of a nation-wide drive to raise awareness among the American people and the media about the role of Pakistan in spreading international terrorism," said Gaurang Desai, President of the Northern California chapter of the Friends of India Society International.

Organised by FISI with support from 16 other organisations, it was the first in a series of rallies to be held throughout the United States over the next two weeks.

Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta and Boston are among the major cities where similar rallies will be held.

"Pakistan is the global terror epicentre," Desai said, adding the world could not get rid of terrorism, if it did not get rid of the terrorist camps in Pakistan.

India has shown exemplary restraint thus far by not attacking terrorist camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the organisers said.

India's restraint and patience has been pushed to the extreme and the country has a duty to defend its one billion citizens from further pain and suffering, they said.

The protesters urged Pakistan to cease financing and training terrorists within Pakistan and in PoK.
