Hitting out at Pakistan and accusing it of sponsoring terror, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said that no nation should have double standards on the issue of terrorism. "I briefed Secretary Kerry on the continuing problem of cross-border terrorism that India and the larger region faces from Pakistan. He and I agreed that Pakistan needs to take fast track actions to catch perpetrators of 2008 Mumbai attack and 2016 Pathankot attack," Sushma Swaraj added. I've talked to Pakistan prime minister and General Raheel Sharif for the need for Pakistan to deprive any group (terrorist) of sanctuary," he added. On the escalating tension between India and Pakistan, Sushma Swaraj blamed Pakistan for refusing to cooperate with India over several issues.
