"Pakistan is yet to show sincerity in delivering justice to the families of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. India has consistently stressed the need for Pakistan to take credible, irreversible, and verifiable action to end cross-border terrorism," the report said.

It can be seen that India has repeatedly raised the issue of Pakistan's continued support of cross-border terrorism in bilateral, regional, and multilateral forums, and has shared credible inputs regarding the Pakistani origins of the captured terrorists.

The MEA report, in addition to cross-border terrorism, pointed out how Pakistan engages in "hostile propaganda to vilify India and divert attention from its domestic political and economic failures".
