New Delhi: Amid strong suspicion of involvement of Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) in the Bangalore attack, India today (Dec 30, 2005) said Islamabad was not doing enough to stop cross-border terrorism, that puts a 'big question mark' on the ongoing peace process.

It also said if Pakistan had any 'fresh ideas' on self-governance and demilitarization in Jammu and Kashmir, it could be conveyed through back channels but maintained that the issue of granting more autonomy was a matter between New Delhi and the state concerned.

Ahead of the Foreign Secretary-level talks here next month to kick off the third round of Composite Dialogue, official sources said Pakistan's commitment given at the highest level on ending cross-border terrorism still remains to be fulfilled.

"The phenomenon of cross-border terrorism hangs like a big question mark on the peace process," the sources said, adding if terror attacks continue, public opinion for Government to carry on with the peace process will 'start evaporating'.

Recalling the public outrage after the October 29 serial blasts in Delhi, the Government has to be sensitive to this.

New Delhi hoped that in the new year, Pakistan will make a determined effort to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in that country to help take the dialogue process forward.
