It was bitter pill for Pakistan as the visiting US Secretary of John Kerry slammed Pakistan for terrorism and cautioned them to dismantle safe havens created to terrorists and criminal networks in India. Pakistan was also isolated in the region with a joint announcement by Kerry and external affairs minister for trilateral co-operation between India, US and Afghanistan to combat terrorism in the sub-continent. On a future base may also come up with the help of US to teach and torment Pakistan sponsored terrorism in India. The agreement to the logistics support to each other is just like supplying of fuel, supply of other items that are required for joint operations and humanitarian assistance. It is a big leap in the relationship of the two countries and it will go a long way in fighting fire with fire and creating an atmosphere that will isolate Pakistan from entering into sponsored terrorism in the neighbouring countries. Bashing Pakistan is the best option available for India under the present tense situation.
