India on Thursday said Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari’s “confession” about nurturing of terrorists had vindicated its stand and hoped Islamabad would now make a “determined” effort to end terrorism across the board.

Making statements in both Houses of Parliament, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said Pakistan must “expose” and “take action” against “conspiracies and conspirators” for terror attacks launched in India from across the border as future of dialogue is premised on an atmosphere free of the threat of violence.
