Pakistan says India moving troops
In another sign of growing tension over the disputed territory of Kashmir, Pakistan has accused India of moving troops and aircraft provocatively in the region.
A military spokesman said Pakistan viewed the Indian redeployment as a potential threat. He said Pakistani forces were ready to thwart what he described as any attempted mischief or misadventure. The Indian government rejected the Pakistani accusation, saying any troop movements in the Indian-administered part of Kashmir were routine. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
