India’s Modi Provokes Pakistan Over Terrorism Links in Independence Day Speech
New Delhi (Sputnik) "It's clear that Pakistan has work to do in order to push harder against its indigenous groups that are engaged in terrorist activities," US Secretary of State John Kerry said while addressing a gathering of students at the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi on Wednesday.

John Kerry further added that, "We have talked about the sanctuaries in the country. They must work with us to help clear sanctuary of bad actors who are affecting more than just the India-Pak relationship.."

Addressing the students, John Kerry said that terror groups like Daesh, Al Qaeda, LeT and JeM can't be fought by a single nation.

"We are working on it. I have been working on this issue very hard. I've had many engagements with Nawaz Sharif. We have been talking about the sanctuaries in the western part of the country, how to deal more effectively with the Haqqani network and LeT."

US Secretary of State John Kerry is on a three-day visit to India for the Second India-US Strategic and Commercial Dialogue.
