New Delhi: India will continue to take "firm and decisive" steps against all attempts of terrorist infiltration till Pakistan initiates "credible and irreversible" action to end cross-border terrorism and dismantles terrorist infrastructure in the territory under its control, the External Affairs Ministry said on Thursday. "However, any meaningful dialogue can only be held in an atmosphere free from terror, hostility and violence. The onus is on Pakistan to create such a conducive atmosphere," he said. "India has asked Pakistan to take credible and irreversible steps to end cross-border terrorism and dismantle terrorist infrastructure in territory under its control. Many countries have called upon Pakistan to not allow its territory to be used for terrorism in any manner," he said.
