[Sidhu...Sidhaarth Roy]

New Delhi, Dec.6: Germany today said Pakistan is "not doing enough" to combat terrorism, noting that the situation in that country is an issue of "central concern" to it.

Addressing a news conference ahead of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin this Saturday, German Ambassador Thomas Matussek said the internal situation in Pakistan is "unstable."

Matussek said it would in the interest of the international community if the Pakistan security apparatus "chase out" al-Qaeda and other terror elements from the country.

"If Pakistan goes down...it will affect countries like India," he said, adding efforts should be made to strengthen the democratic legitimacy of civilian rule.

"The situation in Pakistan is an issue of central concern to us. The internal situation in Pakistan is unstable.

Pakistan is not doing enough to combat terrorism," he said.
