"They did not exactly mention anything specific related to a militant outfit that they are concerned about - and our security agencies do not have any information like this either. Despite that, we told them to give us information if they have it. They said they are trying and will give us any information necessary as and when they get it. As you know, the Australian government released a general travel advisory towards all Australian citizens who are travelling to the subcontinent including India, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka."
