Stern warning to Pak.

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, OCT.1. India today issued a virtual ultimatum to Pakistan to stop aiding and abetting terrorism after militants led by a suicide bomber attacked the Jammu and Kashmir assembly today.

``India cannot accept such manifestation of hate and terror form across its borders. There is a limit to India's patience'', a hard-hitting statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs after a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security concluded this evening said.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), presided over by the Prime Minister, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee, met for nearly two hours late this evening to discuss the prevailing security situation in Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of the storming of the State Assembly.

The statement described the Pakistani President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf's declarations that the offices of the Harkat-ul- Mujahideen, a known terrorist group had been closed as a `cosmetic step'' taken under international pressure. Pakistan, it said ``continues to be a country that aids, abets and sponsors terrorism and terrorist networks.''
