PM condemns attack on Abdullah

Condemning the assassination bid on Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Sunday indicated that such attacks could affect the peace talks in the state.

"If militants continue with acts of terrorism, then how will an atmosphere for peace talks be created?" Vajpayee remarked while talking to reporters on his return home from a week-long visit to Vietnam and Indonesia.

Replying to questions, he said, "I am relieved that Abdullah is safe. I compliment him."

To a question that the army favoured extension of the ceasefire in J&K beyond the Republic Day, the prime minister said, "All issues will be considered and a final decision on it will be taken by the Cabinet Committee on Security," he said.
