Pakistan reiterates charge against India

By B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD, JULY 25. Pakistan continues to accuse India of `unprovoked' firing along the `working boundary'. The Pakistan Government has alleged that one person was critically wounded in the intermittent firing along Tounder in Zafrwal sector.

One of Pakistan's news agencies, NNI, has reported from Sialkot that intermittent firing by Indian troops continues in various areas of the `working boundary'. According to the report, one person was injured in the firing.it said.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister, Mr. Abdul Sattar, has rejected the charge of "cross-border terrorism" as a "misperception if not a deliberate distortion". At Agra both sides did not engage in frontal debate on the subject, he said.

In an interview to CNN, he said, " India fails to take into account the fact that 75,000 Kashmiris have perished in the freedom struggle over the last 12 years. Now, if anybody calls the freedom struggle a terrorist movement, this is certainly a distortion."
