Kashmir to be centre of talks, says Pakistan
Asserting that there was no infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir from the Pakistani side, President Pervez Musharraf has said he would take up the Indian charge in this regard with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during their meeting in New York in September where Kashmir would be the "central point" of talks.
"There is no infiltration whatsoever taking place. I will be raising the issue of alleged cross-border infiltration with the Indian Prime Minister," he said.
In his Independence Day speech, Singh had said that "half-hearted" efforts by Pakistan to check terrorist activities will not suffice and it has to "totally dismantle" the terror infrastructure.
