Lip service, no more

Sir, - After the terrorist attack on the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, the Prime Minister sent a strongly-worded letter to Mr. Bush, complaining of Pakistan's involvement in the incident. What did Mr. Vajpayee intend doing if the U.S. did not take note of the letter, which is evident from the statements emanating from Washington? The U.S. is still only ``considering'' the inclusion of the Jaish-e-Mohammed in the list of terrorist organisations and has outrightly refused to accept Pakistan as a country harbouring terrorists. We should remember that, other than issuing routine statements, the U.S. or Britain is not bothered about Kashmir.
