Maneka Gandhi warns Pak.

JAMMU JUNE 28. The Union Minister for Programme Implementation and Statistics, Maneka Gandhi, today warned Pakistan not to test India's patience and dismantle all terrorist training camps across the border.

Addressing a group of border migrants at Dumini migrant camp in the Akhnoor sector here, Ms. Maneka Gandhi said, ``the people of Jammu and Kashmir are the victims of the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan and the insurgency due to which thousands of Kashmiri Pandits had to flee from the valley while those living along the border had also been uprooted from their hearths.''

She warned Pakistan to immediately stop exporting terrorism and wondered how the country was encouraging terror despite being a member of the global coalition against terrorism.

She expressed anguish on the lack of facilities in the camps and praised the inmates for high morale despite the difficulties faced by them.

She assured them that she would take up the matter with the State authorities and the Centre for providing assistance to them. — UNI
