No let-up in infiltration, says Advani

New Delhi Nov. 26. Maintaining that cross-border terrorism is continuing, the Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, today said the gesture of accepting ceasefire on the borders was aimed at demonstrating New Delhi's desire for peace that could come only if Pakistan abandoned terrorism.

``Cross-border terrorism still continues. There is no abatement in that,'' he told NDTV 24x7 news channel.
