After war hysteria, de-escalation is the new mantra. According to sources, India
has told Pakistan it is not engaged in any troop build up along its border with Pakistan and has once again asked Islamabad to crack down on terrorists acting from its soil.
# The Indian High Commissioner Satyabrata Pal met Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir to say India has no plans for military action but wants Pakistan to act against militant groups on its soil.
# Pakistan cautioned India that any surgical strike by India in response to the Mumbai terror attacks would be seen as an "act of war".
# India has responded by saying there is no reason for the "war hysteria" being seen in Pakistan.
Under pressure, Pakistan has meanwhile, toned down its rhetoric. Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Reza Gilani has said that Pakistan would not take any unprovoked action against India.
But Anand Sharma, Minister of Sate for foreign Affairs said it's time for Pakistan to act. He has also urged Indians not to travel to Pakistan since India had issue an advisory after many years.
"There has been a disinformation campaign by Pakistan inventing incidents that never took place after Lahore blasts they made some claims Lahore police had no idea. We feel that Indians are unsafe there," he said
