Vajpayee, Blair sign declaration on terrorism: India-Pakistan talks possible NEW DELHI, Jan 6: British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee signed a joint declaration here on Sunday, condemning all those who support and finance terrorism. The declaration specifically equated the last month's attack on the Indian Parliament and Oct 1 bombing of state legislature in the occupied Kashmir - both of which New Delhi has blamed on Pakistani-based militants - with the Sep 11 atrocities in the United States. "We condemn all those who support terrorism: those that finance, train or provide support for terrorists share their guilt", the communique said. "Those responsible for these crimes must be delivered to justice", it added INDIA WILL TALK: Prime Minister Tony Blair said he believed India was ready to engage in a "meaningful dialogue" with Pakistan over Kashmir if Islamabad rejected terrorism in all its forms. Blair told a news conference in New Delhi there could be no half measures in stamping out terror, and urged Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf to act against extremists and engage in talks with India. "There is no doubt as to what needs to happen. There must be a complete rejection of terrorist acts and the support of them in any shape or form," Blair said after talks with Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee. "There is no halfway house here, and once it is clear that rejection is there, then I believe that India...is prepared to have a meaningful dialogue." India has massed troops on the border urging Islamabad to launch a crackdown on all 'anti-Indian' militant outfits in Pakistan. "Everybody knows what the situation is. On one hand a complete rejection of this type of terrorism, and on the other side a meaningful dialogue. But it is something that Pakistan and India have to decide", he also said. Blair said the international community wanted India and Pakistan to find a way to the negotiating table. "People want to see the circumstances brought about where dialogue and the political process can take the place of extremism and terrorism," he said.-Reuters/AFP __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
