India rejects Kashmir demilitarisation
India's Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjeeon Sunday rejected a call by Pakistan for troop cuts in Kashmir to push forward a slow-moving peace process, citing a recent spiral of violence in the region. "With the present situation, I am not confident that we can reduce troops," Indian Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee told the CNN-IBN TV channel.

Infiltration and attempts at infiltration have also increased, Mukherjee said. The minister's comments came after Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on suggested demilitarisation as a solution to the decades of dispute between India and Pakistan over the Himalayan region of Kashmir.
