(a) to (d) Infiltration continues across the LoC/IB in Jammu and Kashmir. The level of infiltration this year is almost the same as last year. Government has, in its interaction with Pakistan at all levels, continuously stressed the fact Pakistan has not taken any effective action to dismantle the infrastructure of support to terrorism on a permanent basis. Government has made it clear to Pakistan that the premise on which the present dialogue process is based is the commitment of January 6, 2004 by Pakistan not to permit any territory under Pakistan`s control to be used to support terrorism in any manner.
During his meeting with US Secretary of State, Dr. Condoleezza Rice on September 15 2005 in New York, PM conveyed that an end to cross-border infiltration and terrorism was essential if peace process with Pakistan was to be carried forward successfully. He also underlined that the infrastructure of terrorism must be permanently dismantled by Pakistan.
