Srinagar: A day after extending a hand of friendship to Pakistan, Prime Minister
Atal Behari Vajpayee on April 19 accused Islamabad of perpetrating violence in Jammu
and Kashmir for over a decade but said its designs would not be allowed to succeed.
"The Centre will not allow Pakistan to succeed in its designs," he said at the
convocation of Kashmir University.
"We will work in tandem with the state government for the betterment of the state,"
Vajpayee said.
He said the Centre had fulfilled its promise of holding free and fair elections and
the state government had taken some good steps.
