The Indian prime minister's remarks warrant serious and prompt action, Afrasiab told Vohra, according to a statement by Pakistan Foreign Office.

'In all sincerity, we would request India to share information they have and for our part we stand ready to cooperate fully in pre-empting any act of terror,' the Foreign Office said.

'I think (Manmohan Singh's) statement was uncalled for and it would have been better if he had not made such a statement because Pakistan and India are moving towards better relations, especially after the meetings (between the Indian premier and President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani),' Pakistan's Minister of State for Information Sumsam Ali Bukhari had told reporters Monday.

'As Pakistanis, we would not want any problems to occur anywhere. We are ourselves victims of terrorism.'
