Islamabad: Asserting that there was no infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir from the Pakistani side, President Pervez Musharraf has said he would take up the Indian charge in this regard with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during their meeting in New York next month where Kashmir would be the 'central point' of talks.

"There is no infiltration whatsoever taking place. I will be raising the issue of alleged cross-border infiltration with the Indian Prime Minister," he said.

In his Independence Day speech, Singh had said that 'half-hearted' efforts by Pakistan to check terrorist activities will not suffice and it has to 'totally dismantle' the terror infrastructure.

Singh and Musharraf are expected to meet on the sidelines of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in New York next month.

Musharraf said he would discuss all bilateral issues with Singh. "And of course, Kashmir issue will be the central point in our talks," he told the Pakistan Observer newspaper.

On the test firing of cruise missile Babur, he said with the test-firing Pakistan has achieved credible deterrence with India, which has acquired BrahMose cruise missile developed in collaboration with Russia.

He claimed that unlike BrahMose, Pakistan's missile was completely indigenous.

On the domestic front, Musharraf ruled out reverting to the Presidential form of Government from the present Parliamentary system saying that he has no plans to do it.
