New Delhi: India on August 12 rejected Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's proposal for a ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC), saying there was nothing new in his suggestions.

"There is nothing new in these suggestions. They have not been found effective in the past because Pakistan has continued to sponsor terrorism directed against India and provided support to cross- border infiltration," External Affairs Ministry spokesman told reporters.

"Once this is stopped and Pakistani aided terrorist stop crossing the LoC, the level of firing would naturally go down," he said, reacting to the Pakistani President's remarks to visiting Indian delegations of Parliamentarians and journalists.
