Replying to a query, Mr Parrikar said, Defence Ministry will soon submit a detailed report to Prime Minister on the issues he raised during Combined Commanders Conference yesterday including Defence Management. <br/><br/>When asked about the US reaction to India raising the issue of terrorism from Pakistan, he said, the reaction was good and concerns were expressed.
