Pakistan urges world to make India 'see reason'

Border skirmishes displace thousands

AFP, Islamabad
Pakistan called Monday for increased international efforts to make India "see reason" and begin negotiations as war clouds gathered over the two countries.
"We hope the international community will increase further its efforts considering the hostile postures adopted by India and convince India to see reason and come to the negotiating table for discussions and dialogue," said foreign ministry spokesman Aziz Ahmed Khan.
Asked at a news conference whether he thought war was imminent between the nuclear-armed neighbours, he said he was not in the business of "fortune telling".
Khan's comments came as Indian and Pakistani troops fought artillery duels on the border in the disputed state of Kashmir.
The skirmishes erupted after India blamed Pakistan-based guerrillas for an attack last week in Jammu, the Kashmiri winter capital, that killed 35 people, mostly wives and children of soldiers.
At least 10 people have been killed and more than 50 injured on the Pakistani side of the border since Friday.
Indian officials said Monday that the four-day artillery duel has left two people dead, 20 injured and more than 12,000 people displaced in Indian Kashmir.
India has blamed Pakistani militants for the Jammu massacre and on Saturday ordered Pakistan to withdraw its high commissioner (ambassador) in New Delhi, a move that has heightened tensions between the nucleararmed rivals.
Pakistan has denied the charge and demanded an impartial investigation into the attack.
Kashmir, divided between India and Pakistan and claimed by both, has caused two of their three wars since independence from Britain in 1947.
Moreover, four days of cross-border shelling between the Indian and Pakistani armies has left two people dead, 20 injured and more than 12,000 people displaced in Kashmir, officials said Monday.
Indian and Pakistani troops traded small arms fire on Monday for the fourth day running, but there were no reports of any casualties.
The border skirmishes erupted on Friday, after India blamed Pakistanbased guerrillas for an attack last week in Jammu, the Kashmiri winter capital, that left 35 dead, mostly wives and children of soldiers.
