Lone's killing aimed at sabotaging
J&K polls: PM

T V Parasuram and Devidas Gupta in New York

Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Thursday asserted that the killing of Jammu and Kashmir Law Minister Mushtaq Ahmad Lone was aimed at sabotaging the forthcoming assembly elections in the state.

Vajpayee told his Danish counterpart Andersen Fog Rasmussen during a bilateral meeting that "every effort is being made [by terrorists] to intimidate the voters and the candidates in Jammu and Kashmir."

Denmark currently holds the rotating presidency of the 15-member European Union.

Vajpayee said India is committed to holding a free and fair election in the state and added that the "acid test" whether cross-border terrorism had ebbed would be evident during the polls in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Danish prime minister said he condemned terrorism wherever and in whichever shape it occurs.
