Delhi denies military mobilisation
2008-12-31
Rejecting Islamabad's contention that India has mobilised its armed forces, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday said there was no question of such mobilisation. Mukherjee said only normal winter exercises conducted every year had taken place. He said there was no tension as was borne by the fact that India was releasing 66 Pakistanis detained for visa violations. Moreover, like in the past, India and Pakistan will be exchanging information on nuclear confidence building measures on the New Year's Day, he said. Mukherjee said India wanted Pakistan to dismantle terrorist camps, take action against those involved in terror attacks and hand over fugitives like the chief of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed, Masood Azhar. Mukherjee said while it cannot be 'business as usual' with Islamabad, "I do feel we should continue to put pressure diplomatically through international community to achieve our objectives".
