Wednesday, June 18 2003 22:54 Hrs (IST)
London: A day after Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani said there has been no let-up in cross-border
infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir, Britain on June 18 asked Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf to do
more to tackle terrorism even as it appreciated his efforts to counter the menace.
"We continue to urge President Musharraf to do all that he can as more can be done to tackle
terrorism. This applies to all international partners of the coalition to fight against the scourge of
terrorism. We hope we can see further progress," an official spokesman said a few days after Advani
held talks with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The spokesman said "actually we are very pleased with efforts of President Musharraf to counter
terrorism. The Pakistan President also know that the international community would expect Pakistan to
deal severely against anyone using Pakistan as a safe haven."
