India claims that Pakistan has not fulfilled its promise to stop the infiltration of Islamist separatists across the Line of Control into Indian-administered Kashmir. New Indian Foreign Minister Yashwant Sinha stated on Wednesday that it appears the level of infiltration across the Line of Control had only decreased briefly in the last days of May when Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf announced an end to cross-border terrorist activities. Mr. Sinha added that it seems that cross-border operations are now increasing again. Pakistan has denied India's claim that Islamist militants have crossed the border again. The Pakistani Foreign Ministry states that Indian leaders have issued many contradictory statements on this matter, which can no longer be taken seriously.
