| India not sharing information on Samjhota blast, says Kasuri |
| 2007-05-25 |
| ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri on Thursday said India had not so far shared intelligence with Pakistan on Samjhota Express blasts despite repeated requests. He was talking to reporters at the Parliament House. “Anti-Terrorism Mechanism (ATM) was signed between the two governments for intelligence sharing but India is not cooperating,” he said. He said he was unaware of India’s objections to Muzaffarabad-Sri Nagar bus service, adding both countries had ‘liberalised’ visa policy and issued more visas at present compared with the past. He said it was unfair to say that Pakistan was not doing enough in the war on terror. “We have deputed 80,000 troops on our western borders and have suffered hundreds of casualties. We have done more than any other country in the war on terror,” he said. He said Pakistan also proposed fencing and mining to stop cross-border terrorism. He said efforts were being made at diplomatic level to make necessary amendments in Emma Nicholson report on Kashmir. “We have a clear stance that we will not accept Israel without an independent Palestinian Authority,” he replied to a question. |
