'Tackling J&K terrorism is our job'

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, OCT. 9. The primary responsibility of fighting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir is India's. This, despite recent events such as the suicide bomb attack in front of the State Assembly which have led to a greater understanding of India's concern by other countries, the Congress president, Ms. Sonia Gandhi, said here today.

She said there was need to try and win over the hearts of the people of the State by exploring ``every possible avenue of reconciliation in J&K.''

She hoped that the global coalition against terrorism ``will be able to work for a common goal to fight terrorism in all its forms and wherever it exists.''

Ms. Gandhi's observations came in her opening remarks at a discussion organised by the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation on `International Cooperation against Terrorism, Implications and Choices for India.'
