[originaltext] Addressing the U.N. General Assembly Thursday, Indian Prime Mi

Addressing the U.N. General Assembly Thursday, Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee angrily rejected a Kashmir truce offer by Pakistan. Mr. Vajpayee said the offer, made the day before at the United Nations by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, was tantamount to an admission that Pakistan supports terrorism. Mr. Vajpayee’s address included both implicit and direct criticism of neighboring Pakistan, which his government accuses of sponsoring terror activity by Muslim extremists across the ’Line of Control" in Indian Kashmir. In a strongly worded statement, Mr. Vajpayee said some nominal participants in the global war against terrorism are themselves "part of the problem," and said terror attacks cannot be legitimized by citing "root causes" or "imaginary freedom struggles."
