Separatist movements no excuse for terrorism: PM

Saying that separatist movements were no excuse for terrorism, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Wednesday said India was willing to resolve all issues, including Kashmir, with Pakistan through talks but a 'conducive atmosphere' was not being created because of cross-border terrorism.

"For a conducive atmosphere, terrorism must end," Vajpayee told a press conference in Almaty at the conclusion of his four-day visit to Kazakhstan during which he attended a 16-nation regional security summit, which condemned terrorism in all its manifestations.

Stating that there was no place for terrorism in civil society, he said the Summit Declaration and the Almaty Act adopted by the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures (CICA) members were important steps in combating terrorism.

The member countries unanimously denounced terrorism as an enemy to 'peace and civic society', Vajpayee said.

He made a special mention of the Almaty Act, which forbids support to terrorism in the name of any separatist movement, and said it was 'one step forward in the fight against terrorism'.

"Member states will not support any separatist movement in the territory of another member state," it says.
