Islamabad: Dismissing reports of any "unusual" movement or build-up of troops along the Indo-Pak border in the wake of the Mumbai terror attacks, the Pakistan army today said "there is nothing to worry about".
Maj Gen Athar Abbas, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations, said the ceasefire along the borders in Jammu and Kashmir too was holding.
"There is nothing to worry about. I would not like to make any speculative comments about the situation," Abbas told PTI.
There were "no official authenticated" reports of any "unusual movement, change or build-up (of troops) on this side or that side of the border", he said.
Abbas also noted that the Indian government or security establishment had not made any comment regarding any change in the ceasefire along the Line of Control or international border in Jammu and Kashmir and the truce was holding.
"Therefore, it (the ceasefire) is as it was," he said.
The comments by Pakistani military's chief spokesman came in the wake of media reports on a background briefing yesterday by unnamed senior security officials warning of mounting tensions with India as a result of the terror strikes.
They said up to 100,000 Pakistani troops could be diverted from fighting militants on the Afghan frontier to be deployed on the Indian border.
The officials had also said that the next two days would be crucial in determining how the situation would unfold.
Indian Army also denied reports that New Delhi was mobilising troops on the border with Pakistan, scotching speculation in this regard.
