New Delhi, January 20: British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called for greater cooperation with India on combatting terrorism as he began a visit to New Delhi on Sunday.

Brown wants India to become a member of an international body that counters terrorist financing -- the Financial Action Task Force -- and also wants to help it to acquire sophisticated equipment to detect people carrying weapons or explosives at ports and airports.

"There's got to be greater cooperation between the major countries and Britain in the fight against terrorism," he told the BBC in an interview on Sunday.

"I want not just China and Pakistan but also India to play their part in cooperating with us so we can root out those who are seeking to use terrorist finance," he said.

"That means India should join what's called the Financial Action Task Force -- it's not yet a member -- so it can play its part in working to deal with terrorist structures," Brown said.

He also called for a hearts and minds campaign to combat ‘extremist ideologies’.

Brown arrived in India from China where he focused on expanding trade and investment and on cooperation against climate change.

In India he will hold talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, meet business leaders and give a speech on Monday on reforming international institutions.

Islamic Terrorism is a THREAT to India's Economic and Political interest. by DILIP /FRANCE on 21 Jan 2008

The P.M. of UK,is correct in tackling India for knowingly or negligently exporting Alqaeda/Taleban type Islamic terrorists and extremeists, to Europe and North America, who are committed to kill ferociously innocent human beaings,driven by medieval,perverse and twisted desert ideology. Or inspired by the rewards of 72 beautiful virgins?If India does not tackle this problem head on, instead starts to pussy foot around,by these spineless and gutless communal leaders, the civilsed world will condemn India,as the WalMart and the snakepit of Jihadist/muslim extremeists, of the same status of Pakistan.More and more India muslims are goining the extreme muslim organisations and are becoming criminals,for example, only last Saturady,two Indian muslim extremeists were arrested by Spainish police,with incriminating and conclusive evidence,who where about to carry out terrorsists attacks, in Mainland Europe,Last year 2 Muslim terrorist doctors, attempted to blow up a London night club and the Glasgow Airport in Scotland, to crate mayhem and carnage.3 Indian illegal muslims, in the Madrid bombing and thousand other potential wannabes martyrs, are queing, to come over to brutalise the civilised world.India must stop all these double talk, get off its arse and start taking iron fist actions,oterwise the civilised world start to kick her arse. If India wish to preserve its Democracy and Freedom,it is in India's interest and constitution, to stamp out the evil designs of the jihadist, rather than pandering and pampering to them, otherwise these treacherous bigots will destroy India.Do not bury your haed in the sand and pretend all is honkey dory, is deluding yourself with stupidity.Realise the real threat from these muslim extremeists and styart taking actions.Grasp the TRUTH before it is too late.

Terrorism and vote-bank ! by Sharad C. Misra on 21 Jan 2008

Expecting India to be a member of an international body that counters terrorist financing -- the Financial Action Task Force ? You must be joking ! Doing so would be suicidal for the Congress-led UPA Government whose only hope of surviving the next general elections is the 'minority' vote bank. The constituents of this Government value political power more than development and welfare of the people. They know that being in the global vanguard of anti-terrorism would totally alienate from them the 'minority community' and their dream of returning to power would vanish. For that very reason the Government is carefully keeping alive Afzal Guru convicted for waging a war against this country by attempting to kill the MPs. The Government has no clear policy on terrorism and the Naxalite menace, treating both as the concern of the States which under the Constitution are responsible for maintenance of law

British Raj Mentality by Paramjit Bahia on 20 Jan 2008

In my earlier posting I have made some serious allegations. If Indian media is really interested in serving the nation, which I doubt, it should seriously research and expose these shameful records of Britain’s tacit support for terrorism against India. Most of my allegations can easily be confirmed by our former Director of Intelligence Bureau Ajit Kumar Doval who at that time was senior diplomat in UK and Dr. Singhvee who was our High Commissioner. What I am alleging is only tip of the iceberg there is lot more and much serious stuff I know of. Sadly our great freedom fighters only managed to replace ‘White Sahibs’ with ‘Brown Babus’. So hardly anybody is looking after the interests of our nation and slave mentality is flourishing in so called Free India. It is sad that modern Indians can get all excited if anything is said about second rate actress Shilpa Sheti but nobody is bothered when Mahatma Gandhi’s name is abused and insulted in the UK.

Not only Mahatma, but also Lord Ram by Indian on 21 Jan 2008

Not only Mahatma's name is insulted. UK even harbours M.F. Husain, who insults Hindu gods (including Lord Ram, who was always in the heart of Mahatma) in the filthiest possible manner. If UK respects India and its crores of Hindua, it should immediately expel Husain, and refuse visa to him

UK's Raj mindset still surviving by Paramjit Bahia on 20 Jan 2008

HYPOCRISY of HYPOCRITE Brown. Having almost always supported Pakistan and its well known terrorism against India it is hypocrisy and cheek of the highest order for British Prime Minister Brown to start preaching India on how to eradicate terrorism in Kashmir financed by Pakistan. In 1995 as Labour (Brown’s own party) County Councillor I put a motion on Hampshire County Council in UK, NONE of my Labour colleagues supported it. But it was passed with help from others. I was banned by Labour from raising the same issue at lower level at Southampton Council. Same year as General Secretary of British Indian Councillors Association I organised Brent Conference to raise the issue of Islamic Terrorism against India and to expose prominent Labour MPs supporting it. Result? I was banned from contesting elections on Labour ticket. Only recently UK has promised to financially support Pakistani ISI and also MADRASAS. We should think carefully before trusting UK on fight against terrorism. P.Bahia (UK)

Double Standards by Sridhar on 20 Jan 2008

'UK wants more India cooperation on terrorism' indeed! Where was UK when India wanted UK's cooperation in appprehending Kashmir and Pakistani terorrists who were collecting donations in UK? UK then said they were freedom fighters!! All this problem is when the west wants they declare the terorists freedom fighters and when they do not, they expect other countries to cooperate with them in fighting their terrorists! double standards all the way throughout their history.
