Manmohan warns peace process can derail: Pakistan rejects allegations

ISLAMABAD (July 15 2006): Pakistan on Friday rejected unsubstantiated Indian allegations regarding Mumbai bomb blasts and called for the peace process between the two South Asian neighbours to continue. "Terrorism is a phenomenon which effects almost every country of the world. Surely this afflicts all the countries of the South Asia," Foreign Office Spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said.

"There has been terrorist attack in Karachi today in which a leading religious scholar was killed," she added. She made these comments while reacting to the statement by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday.

Manmohan warned that the peace process with Pakistan could be hit by the Mumbai train bombings and alleged the attackers had support "from across the border".

Manmohan, on his first visit to Mumbai since the blasts that killed 179 and injured nearly 800, warned the peace process would struggle to advance unless Pakistan cracked down on militants operating from its soil.

"The terrorists (responsible for the blasts) were supported by elements across the border without which they cannot hit with such an effect," he said.

"I explained to the government of Pakistan ... that if such acts of terrorism are not controlled, it is exceedingly difficult for any government to carry forward what may be called the normalisation of relations and the peace process," the Indian Prime Minister said. Tasnim Aslam said that Pakistan has already rejected unsubstantiated Indian allegations.

"Mumbai blasts were barbaric act of terrorism which Pakistan has strongly and unequivocally condemned, including at the highest level," she added.

Tasnim said the President has also reaffirmed the offer to help India with the investigation, if required, on the basis of specific information.

The spokesperson further stated that the peace process between Pakistan and India "is a separate matter."

"It (peace process) is in the interest of both Pakistan and India as well as the region. That is why, we believe that this process must be continued and carried forward," she added.

The spokesperson said reports that Indian police are tracing telephone calls to Pakistan and Bangladesh following the Mumbai train bombings were "frivolous".

"These reports or charges are simply frivolous," Tasnim Aslam told AFP.

The Times of India reported on Friday that a telephone call traced by intelligence services from Karachi to Dhaka said "congratulations".

Another caller contacted his mother in Karachi from a public call office saying he was fine but could not disclose his location - and swiftly hung up, the newspaper said. A senior police official in Karachi said they were ready to look into the telephone calls if necessary.

"If someone has contacted his mother in Karachi from Mumbai after the bomb blasts saying he is fine, it's nothing but natural. If there is anything else we are ready to help," he told AFP on condition of anonymity.

"These reports or charges are simply frivolous," Tasnim Aslam told AFP.

Yet they will keep on pursuing their case against Pakistan. Remember the polytheists and Jews as the Qur'an says will be the most vehement in their hatred against the Believers.

That was the ultimate goal. Call of the peace process

Man they never needed in the first place, they just agreed to it on US pressuer and so they were talking all about CBMs with Pakistan.
Now when they had realised that US was grooming India into a regional power with so much offers in terms of weapons and Nuclear deal.
They are now in a position to call it off.
So whats starnge in it.
The Pakistani government should had realised that and instead of adopting one sided CBMs it should had stand on its firm stance.

Not like the Peace process was anything to be proud of and bring home to your mother. Sorry Singh, threaten us with something better.

The timing is bad as Congress is looking into the $5.1 billion MDE sale which again proves that ISI cannot be involved in this.

Well look at the situation. Zionists are committing the worst attrocities known to man, and the Hindu nation of India (ghandi was against Zionism by the way) is a huge partner with them.

And besides, the neocon gov. of usa has the most fringe christian zionists on their sides. they're the one's on a crusade, they're the ones who armed, trained, funded militants in afghanistan which indirectly led to their branching out across nations in order to destabilize them.

Also Pakistan is the one who always takes initiatives with Kashmir. vishnu india always shys away, even when they voted against iran, Pakistan negotiated and got Gas pipe plans for the sake of stability in the region.

"From 1945 to 2003, the United States attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments, and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements fighting against intolerable regimes. In the process, the US bombed some 25 countries, caused the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair."
