Context

Security threats to India from militant groups operating from Pakistani soil have not diminished, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said in Washington on September 11, reports The Hindu. He also said that there was an increase in infiltration from Pakistan in the last four months. He conveyed New Delhi's concerns during meetings with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and top security officials of the U.S President Barack Obama administration. Completing his four-day U.S. visit, Chidambaram told journalists in Washington that he was going back to India with a "lot of ideas." One of these was establishing something on the lines of the National Counter-Terrorism Centre of the U.S. Set up in 2004 under a presidential utive order, the centre, staffed by over 500 personnel drawn from 16 departments and agencies, spearheads U.S. efforts to combat terrorism at home and abroad by analysing threat perceptions and sharing information with friendly countries. Chidambaram reportedly met National Security Adviser James Jones, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Robert Mueller, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and U.S. Attorney-General Eric H. Holder Jr. Early. Chidambaram said that he had told the U.S. officials about Pakistan not prosecuting perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks, including the mastermind Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, founder of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), who was roaming free in that country despite evidence provided by India. "I did brief them on the state of the trial of Amir Ajmal 'Kasab' [the lone surviving LeT militant in 26/11 Mumbai attack] in India and I also did mention about no progress in Pakistan in respect of the five or six people they have arrested. And Hafiz Sayeed remains a free man. I think that is enough. They know to draw the lessons from that statement," Chidambaram added.
