India on Sunday told the United States that Pakistan should take note of the disclosures made by David Headley, suspected of aiding Pakistani terrorists carry out the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, and take action against terrorism emanating from its soil directed towards it.

Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao told reporters that India’s concerns were conveyed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to US President Barack Obama during a brief meeting between them on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit here.

Rao told reporters that the two leaders discussed the situation in the region and they spoke of counter-terrorism in Afghanistan to stabilise the situation there.

Singh briefed Obama about the peace initiatives with Pakistan but made it clear that Islamabad should abide by its commitment of not allowing terrorism emanating from its soil directed against India. The activities of Headley came up for discussion.

Rao, however, said that the issue of extradition of former Union Carbide chief Warren Anderson in connection with the 1984 Bhopal gas leak tragedy was not discussed.
