Musharraf's claim on infiltration rejected

NEW DELHI MAY 27. India today dismissed the Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf's claim that there was no infiltration of terrorists from Pakistan.

Reacting to Mr. Musharraf's address to the nation, the Minister of State for External Affairs, Omar Abdullah, said even if India was lying about infiltration from across the border, countries such as the U.S., Russia and Germany had some basis for asking Islamabad to put an immediate end to sponsoring cross-border terrorism.

Mr. Abdullah said the Pakistan President had nothing more to say than what he had stated on January 12 and added that it has ``angered me more''.

Referring to Mr. Musharraf's call to the international community to take note of ``atrocities'' committed by Hindu extremists in Gujarat, Kashmir and other places in India, Mr. Abdullah said there is no Hindu terrorism. — PTI
