U.S., U.K. ask Pak. to stop infiltration

Washington March 27. The U.S and the U.K. have condemned the recent massacre of 24 Pandits at Nadimarg in Jammu and Kashmir and have asked Pakistan to stop infiltration across the Line of Control.

The U.S. Secretary of State, Colin Powell, and the British Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, in a joint statement said Pakistan should also do its utmost to discourage any acts of violence by militants in the Valley. The statement was issued under the heading ``Joint United States-United Kingdom statement on the violence in Kashmir.'' Mr. Straw is in Washington for the summit meeting between the U.S President, George Bush, and the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
