'Pakistan not keeping its promises'

March 28, 2003 23:43 IST

Accusing Pakistan of not keeping its promise to end infiltration permanently, India has said that cross-border terrorism had 'increased significantly' and Islamabad has made no efforts to dismantle the infrastructure supporting militant activities.

In its annual report for 2002-03 the External Affairs Ministry said terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir such as terrorist camps, training centres, launching pads, communication centres and funding of terrorist groups, remain unaffected.

Terrorist publications and websites have reappeared and are openly calling for 'jihad' in Kashmir and giving bank account numbers for raising of funds.

The report said that well-known terrorist figures have been released from detention and who have publicly expressed their intention to continue the 'jihad' against India.

The report said that should Pakistan decided to fulfil its promises, India will respond fully and be prepared to resume the dialogue process.

The report said cross-border infiltration and terrorism increased in the run-up to the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections and yet the polls were conducted successfully with a voter participation of 43.7 per cent.

As per available information there were 878 Indian civil prisoners believed to be under detention in Pakistani jails, the report said adding, in accordance with Pakistan's compulsive hostility towards India, harassment of Indian diplomats and other members of the Indian high commission in Islamabad has been a regular phenomenon.
