New Delhi, Aug 17 - The government's policies on dealing with Pakistan on the issue of terrorism lacked clarity, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said here Monday.

'This government's stand has not been clear on dealing with Pakistan on the issue of terrorism. We need to have a clear and tough policy in dealing with this issue,' BJP vice president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told IANS.

Naqvi was reacting to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement Monday that said the government had credible information about terror groups in Pakistan planning fresh attacks against India.

'Coming to specific challenges, cross-border terrorism remains a most pervasive threat. We have put in place additional measures after the Mumbai terrorist attack in November last year. But there is need for continued vigilance,' Manmohan Singh said at a chief ministers' meeting on internal security.
