Again questioning the Union government's policy on Pakistan, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said it doubted if the government had the will to fight the country which was the epicentre of world terrorism.

Saying it would extend complete support to the UPA government if it took pro-active measures in the war against terror, the party noted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assuring against more such attacks, while home minister P Chidambaram was saying all of urban India was vulnerable.

"Pakistan is the country where attacks against India are encouraged, planned and executed, with active patronage from ISI (the Pak military's intelligence body) and elements within the Pakistan army. Pakistan is yet to deliver on the evidence provided on the 26/11 (November 2008) attacks but Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is determined for talks," said Ravi Shankar Prasad, the party spokesperson.
