Islamabad: Pakistan has denied any infiltration across the line of control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir and in turned assailed India for opening consulates in Afghan cities bordering Pakistan saying New Delhi should not expect its "hegemony" in the region.

"Pakistan rejects all allegations of infiltration...there is no infiltration at all from our side," Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Jamali said in an interview to 'al Jazira' television network on February 16.

Reacting to charges on this count by New Delhi and American Ambassadors to India and Pakistan, Jamali said India wanted to "pressure" Pakistan through such accusations "to gain domestic political mileage. "But it's of no use. New Delhi must not expect its hegemony on the South Asian region."

As for the American Envoys' comments on infiltration, Jamali said they were entitled to their views and added that the US had a potential role in Jammu and Kashmir.

"We are not disappointed with the Americans as we are friends and we would remain friends," he said adding that Islamabad stood for a peaceful resolution to differences with India.

"We want a dialogue with India on all outstanding issues in the capacity of a neighbour," he said accusing India of suffering from a "mindset" to "malign" Pakistan.

Asked about India opening a consulate in the Afghan town of Jalabad close to Pakistan border, Jamali said, "India should restrict to international diplomatic norms, it should not surpass established diplomatic limits.
