India says hopes new Pakistan government will work for terror-free South Asia

India on Saturday said it hoped the new government of Pakistan would "work constructively" to end militancy in South Asia, in its first comments following this week's general election in Pakistan. Cricket star-turned-politician Imran Khan, who won the disputed election, has called for better ties with India. "We hope that the new government of Pakistan will work constructively to build a safe, stable, secure and developed South Asia free of terror and violence," India's foreign affairs ministry said in a statement.
