Islamabad: Denying any involvement in the weekend suicide attack on a military camp in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan on June 30 called on India not to let the incident affect the peace process between the countries and said "supplementary and simultaneous" confidence building measures should be taken to normalise relations.

India should not let the militant attack on Kashmir have any impact on the peace process, Foreign Office spokesman Masood Khan told reporters.

Denying Pakistan's involvement in the attack, he called on the Indian leaders to "eschew such reflexive reactions" like attributing any terrorist activities inside India to Pakistan.

He said Pakistan condemned the attack as a terrorist act, and believed that civilians should not be targeted, while "suggesting" that such activities could be a handiwork of the Indian intelligence operatives. But he was quick to add he did not have any evidence to his "suggestion."

Khan also said the arrival of Pakistan High Commissioner designate Aziz Ahmad Khan in New Delhi on June 30 cannot be regarded as normalisation of relations between the countries.

"We have a long way to go to normalise the relations... both countries should start taking a number of supplementary and simultaneous confidence building measures," he said.

On President Pervez Musharraf's comments on June 29 that India should show flexibility on Kashmir like it did on Tibet, Khan said Pakistan believed that Kashmir and Tibet were two different entities and should not be mixed up.
