Terror attack

Sir, — The recent attack on the PIB building in Srinagar was a poignant reminder of the fact that although both India and Pakistan are keen on solving the Kashmir issue through political and people-to-people confidence-building measures, terrorists are unwilling to concede any ground. The peace process will not succeed unless Pakistan destroys the terrorist training camps.

Sir, — The Prime Minister has said that public opinion in India and Pakistan should lead politicians to find a "pragmatic and acceptable" solution to the Kashmir dispute. The Deputy Prime Minister has gone a step ahead and said India is ready for give-and-take to make peace on the Kashmir question. But what is the give-and-take, given that the countries have held diametrically opposite views on Kashmir? The only solution is "neither give nor take" but accept the present Line of Control as the permanent border.
