Former Union Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Chaman Lal Gupta on Monday said India needed to keep a close watch on the developments in Pakistan as one should be alert when there is trouble in the neighbourhood.

India should keep a close watch on the serious developments in Pakistan so that hostile elements in that country do not create any problems for it, Gupta told reporters in Jammu on Monday.

Alleging that the seeds of extremism were sown in Pakistan, the BJP leader said India should see that such extremism doesn't make inroads into its territory.

"Terrorist training camps are still intact in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and there is little let up in the hostility of the mentors of terror towards India," he said.

However, alleging that the ruling Congress and its allies never had a clear-cut policy towards either Pakistan or Kashmir, Gupta said an air of uncertainty had been created by talking about the withdrawal of troops and human rights when infiltration continued along the borders and innocents were still being killed in terrorist violence in the Valley.
