Brown, who made a statement in the House of Commons last night after returning from an unscheduled whirlwind tour of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, said Islamabad must ensure that those terrorists who operated from its soil to attack India are "properly rooted out" and their training camps closed down.
"We (Britain) have offered our support to the democratically elected Government in Pakistan but that Government must act rapidly and decisively against terror networks based on its soil," Brown said.
"Pakistan's own future depends on its actions against those within its borders who are bent on disruption of the elected government and Pakistan's relations with its neighbours."
Brown said he had asked Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari to break the "chain of terror".
He said Britain will work with both India and Pakistan to continue to build counter-terrorism capabilities.
Brown, who offered Pakistan a USD 9 million pact to combat the menace on Sunday, said during his visit to Islamabad he was able to announce more help for bomb disposal capabilities, scanning devices, airport security, help to draw new laws and to set up counter-extremism centres.
"There is a chain of terror that links the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan right through the streets of the UK and other countries around the world and that chain of terror must be broken," the Prime Minister told the House of Commons. Answering to points raised by Opposition leader David Cameron, the Prime Minister said: "As far as Pakistan is concerned, we have got to do with the existing problems in Pakistan and I support President Zardari in what he is doing and the Army Chief Gen Kiyani.
"I did talk to him (Kiyani) about his responsibilities and responsibilities of the Pakistani Army and the ISI to make sure that those terrorists who have operated from Pakistan to do damage in India are properly routed out, and their (terrorists') training camps closed down."
Brown said he believed that Gen Kiyani shares with Zardari that "these things must be done" so that Pakistan can show to the world that it is taking necessary action".
At the outset, Brown said Britain, America and the international community "increasingly" recognise that we can not deal with Afghanistan in isolation from Pakistan.
Referring to the terror attacks on Mumbai, Brown, who held talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Sunday, said: "On 27th of November, the whole world learnt that terrorists based in Pakistan can strike anywhere.
"The murderous assault condemned by the whole world saw 12 terrorists kill 175 people in Mumbai including British Citizens. This weekend I met Prime Minister (Manmohan) Singh and President Zardari to discuss actions that now has to be taken."
Brown said he expressed his condolences to Singh and through him to the Indian people and assured them that the "whole of Britain stands with India in its determination to see those responsible are brought to justice."
The Prime Minister also paid tributes to the efforts in Pakistan to deny the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) as a training ground to terrorists and for insurgency in Afghanistan.

how are you
how terrible the world we are making. mr.brown know,mr.obama knows, their diplomats knows, whole world knows,more over the whole peace-loving world is united on one issue only i.e.terrorism. how much time they will have to bear the burns of this terrorism,how many widowed lined up, how many children you want to made orphan? we want the answer from those who assume themselves the world leader and say they are the savior.on 9/11 attack, immediately you dashed to afganistan. why not this time as the citizens of your cou ntry also targeted and you are very much presnet in their soil. now whic h kind of permission you are awaiting. you people are watching drama only because it is not on your soil. you are again giving the booty to them so as they may enable to finance terrorism ruthrushly.
pakistan govt can not controle these terrorist ,can not keep the law and order in the country,because there are so many states in that country,seperate them ,easy to control them .there will be in pakistan ,peace in India, peace in whole of the WORLD.
Pakistan is a terror sponsoring state. It should be dismembered and sindh and balochis given independence from lunatic punjabis.
It will be very difficult task for Mr Asif Ali Zardari , If he try to implement he will be no more that he already knows as Benazir, Zulfikar went away, similarly he will have to. Instead to Puting pressure on Pakistan Govornment better International community should intervein and revolt and finish all thoes Terrorist Groups, LeT, ZuD, HM. AQ,If we wait for Pakistan Govt to do do the Job, we may spent Billions DOLLER all will be spent on Terroris group only. Its Like one have Cancer in one part of the body. In that case that part of the body is removed so that effects of Cancer do not scatter. Similerly we also should remove PAkistan from the world Map so that their is no place for training and no person for training.
After dismantling the Pakistani Army, India should take over Pakistani Punjab, Sindh and Afghanistan should take over governance of the remaining portions of Pakistan as satellite states. Eventually, these satellite states can be incorporated into the Union of India and the counrty of Afghanistan.
Tell the Indian govt to hand Afzal first.
All the West is interested is the Afghanistan war. They are worried that Pakistan will divert its troops to Eastern border. In the press ocnferne Brown did not mention LeT even once!Morever. Pakistan's tail curled up to its normal shape as soon as Brown left Pakistan which said it will not allow access to British police to question the militants!
To all you die hard South Asian Muslims, just remember one thing: prior to the Islamic invasion of the lands that you presently live on, ALL of your ancestors were either Hindu or Buddist. They were all converted to Islam at the tip of the sword. Even now the muslims from the country of the invaders look down upon you as being second rate. Osama and his cohorts have displayed their contempt for the Pakistani and Afghani Muslims on more than one occassion. Hence I request that you all wake up from your deluded thinking of being equal to the rest of the Islamic world and save your countries (Pak/Afghan) while there still is a little hope. Time is running out!
According to Pakis mindset only Jehad and killing innocent civilians is legal according to their Laws (Shariat). So u r fighting a thousand year war. U will have so many Jehadi Martyrs that no virgin will be left suitable for you in 'Jannat'.
Brown is not worried about terrorism in Pakistan or India, he wants Afghan retaliation against NATO to be eliminated and given the supper power invaders a free hand to built their future bases to control central Asia and its oil resources. If Brown wants to end terrorism stop invading, other countries, stop supporting imperial forces and zionist ideolgy and stop killing innocent people to rise own standard of living.Every body is innocent until proven guilty. In this hostile environment intelligence agencies stage such attacks to gain something bigger. e.g. 9/11 and US. India may be having similar intentions. Pakistan is claiming these people were kidnapped in Nepal by Indian agencies then torture them to confess and act as they did. Now if India wants to clear it for once and all put these so called terrorists on a trial in neutral country where they can defend themselves. Because India in such cases has history of presenting false evidences. Afzal Ghuru is a live exam
stop your brainless rant qureshi or whoever you are.. stop the imaginary conspiracy theories that your media and leaders feed you.. start thinking with your brains.. you are bing led down the path to doom and destruction.. you guys have no future and yet you guys are in denial.. support your government to kick out this islamist murderers.. thats all they are.. they arent freedom fighters.. otherwise 10 years from now you guys will be living even more miserable lives than you are now under islamist fundamentalist and have no freedom at all
Such sick mentality is the root cause of terrorism in the world.
The person posting this previous post "What are you smoking?" Do you live in a parallel universe or have you read too much of fiction?
The future of all the world will be peaceful/secure if Muslims would stop fighting cowardly. Kashmir will ALWAYS will be a part of India. Afghanistan is a playground for budding jihadis so Western and 'civilized' intervention is needed. Iraq is a free society now, thanks to George Bush. And Iraqis would not die at such a rate if their beloved Al Qaeeda stopped targeting innocent Iraqis and US soldiers. And as for Palestine, the Palestinians need to reject terror, which means rejecting Hamas, and join the political process towards finding a lasting solution. I am surprised that 'Kaleem' failed to mention Xianjiag, Chechnya, Iran nuclear ambitions, and the Abu Sayaaf to mention just a few of them. It seems that whereever there is a person belonging to the 'friendly' minority there is a problem. Simply, India giving Kashmir, US pulling out of Afghanistan and Iraq and resolution of Palestine are not going to solve the problem of 'Islamic terrorism'. He must be a terror supporter.
The future of world will be safe when Supper powers stop meddling with other nations and put an end to their greedy nature to invade other countries to make their own countries rich and create hostilities in the regions and putting one country against other and one community against other, when supper powers stop blindly supporting the racist Israeli oppression on Palestine, when supper powers start intervening on moral bases not interest bases, when supper powers act real civilized, when supper powers mind their own business and don’t impose their ideology and life style on others.
Muslims fighting cowardly? u r rl s hl to say that. In fact only Mulsims have balls to face an enemy with bare handed and bleed him to death. Kashmiris will take Kashmir no matter if u were dead or alive. Terrorism will end when racist people like u will vanish from this earth and I think Muslims have to do that part too.
Qureshi.. the rest of the world calls this savage and cannibals.. but I dont think you are capable of this.. Qasab couldnt bear to look at blood.. No terrorist murderer I have seen has gone out barehanded.. they have always had the most sophisticated weapons and they have always attacked from behind.. they hide behind women and children and even use children whilst your masters sit back and enjoy wine and women.. they foolw gullible people like you to kill yourself for 72 virgins.. poor you
The Future of ALL World will be Secure(and peaceful) if and only if US/EU/Israel/India put their forces out off Afghanistan/Kashmir/Iraq/Palestine otherwise it is not possible.
Kaleem, do you think that the muslim world can do it by force? I don't think so !! Don't forget that the origin of all these problems are due to intolerance, and totally irrational thinking on the part of Jihadis and some main stream muslim nut jobs.Unless and until, muslims get rid of their intolerance towards other religions and people and 3 rd century practices,, it is impossible of us to get along. By the way, moderate indian muslims are INDIANS first.
Mr. Kaleem, You are advocating that killing innocent people is the symbol of a true muslim.
Action is the word of the moment, not just simple speeches or words! if pak doesnt act against its terror factory, dismember it to smaller managable states, less headache for world and india!
Lets not fight /blame the countries. Terrorism is an internationally well operated network. What i personally feel is keep border security forces tight . Terrorists may come from any country, they are not specific to any country. Dont be lenient to any minoroties.. Dont give a channce to outsiders to invade in our country.The main problem of india is , India give importance to all religions.. equally.. Even more to minorities. If they are coming from different countries means.. our local support must be there. Eg SIMI. These organisations should be banned , we should stop growing these kind of organisations which is of no use to any body.No religion says kill innocent people.
