New Delhi: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Wednesday offered intelligence sharing and other cooperation with India in fighting extremism and terrorism, as New Delhi tackled rising tensions with Pakistan following a suicide bombing last week on Indian paramilitary soldiers in disputed Kashmir.

Soon after the Pulwama attack in Kashmir, Salman signed a $20 billion-worth pact with Pakistan. In this context, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s enthusiastic reception of the crown prince has been criticised by a section of political parties.
