Shimla, Aug 18 - Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L.K. Advani Tuesday said he was happy Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had realised there was terror threat emanating from Pakistan.

Advani, who arrived here for his party's three-day chintan baithak (brainstorming session) beginning Wednesday, told reporters: 'His (Monday) statement is contradictory to what he had said earlier, but I am happy that the prime minister has realised (the threat from Pakistan).'

He was referring to the prime minister's remarks at the chief ministers' conference on internal security Monday that terrorist groups in the neighbouring country were plotting attacks on India.

Manmohan Singh had said 'there is credible information of ongoing plans of terrorist groups in Pakistan to carry out fresh attacks' and warned of fresh infiltration from across the border.
