Business leader says Pakistan should be declared terrorist state

A prominent Indo-Canadian business leader Hemant Shah said that Pakistan should be declared a terrorist state in view of Mumbai terror attacks. Further, he said that India should escalate the effort of putting more pressure to stop cross-border terrorism.

Mumbai terror attack has been a watershed in the history of bilateral relationship between India and Pakistan, as it seems from various statements made by some of the prominent persons chairing important designations. This time the statement has arrived from a prominent business leader of an Indo-Canadian business chamber. Mr. Hemant Shah who happens to be the Chair India of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, stated that India should put more pressure on Pakistan to stop the cross-border terrorism while latter should be labeled as a terrorist state. What made Mr Shah other than the Mumbai terror attack to come out with such a frantic statement is not clear till now. He concluded his statement by welcoming newly formulated law by India in the aim to prevent the terror. India, it should be noted formulated a new anti-terror law that came into vogue on and from last Wednesday. There is a constant effort on the part of various states throughout the world to pressurise Pakistan to act against the outfits that are indulged in various terror activities. While no action against such organizations proving to be effective enough, the assumption of the terrorists being a 'state within a state' is becoming more strong.
