Pakistan belittles J&K assembly election

Pakistan on Monday sought to belittle the assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir claiming that the Kashmiri people and the All-Parties Hurriyat Conference have rejected it.

"They [Kashmiri people and the Hurriyat] have called it [election] a sham," Pakistan foreign office spokesman Aziz Ahmed Khan said.

On Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's comments that India would combat terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir on its own if the world community did not persuade Pakistan to stop it, Khan said it illustrated a 'typical example of blackmail and threats'.

On reports of President Pervez Musharraf extending invitation to the leaders of Hurriyat to visit Pakistan, the spokesman said Islamabad has always welcomed Hurriyat leaders.
