Earlier on Friday, Russia had repeated his decisive dedication to “a uncompromising joint struggle” with New Delhi against all forms of terrorism.
Kanimozhi focused on the press at the end of their 48 -hour visit to the Russian capital and said that the nuclear threat by Islamabad was inadmissible and India will resolutely respond to military escalation by Pakistan.
The delegation described Russia as a “close and try and tested” friend. “We naturally try to understand that Russia is on our side in this difficulty. It is better that people are aware of our suffering from Pakistan sponsored by the state,” said the delegation members while answering a media question.
In her first remarks at the press conference, Kanimozhi described the Russian visit as a “great opportunity to explain our stand” and said, “Pakistan chooses to protect the terrorists, they go on and spread false propaganda. We only had terror hubs. India would not come to the table for peace speaking” “

“I am a Punjabi and was once back on a visit to Pakistan, people are very friendly and want good relationships with India, but it is their army and the government against India,” one of the members, Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal from AAP, added.
In response to a Russian correspondent, a member of the delegation, Veteran Indian Diplomat Manjeev Puri said that the existing political system makes it difficult to negotiate peace.
“With whom they should negotiate, with the government or the army, who talk about non-state actors involved in terrorist attacks against India? Well, if they cannot control them on their own territory, the international community should help them,” said ambassador Puri.
The visit to Moscow was very important because as a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a global power it has the influence to support India in combating terrorism, he added.
The Indian delegation members also tried to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Moscow. Tonight it leaves for the next stage of their five-country tour to convey India's concern about the cross-border terrorism sponsored by PAK.
