Union minister of state for home Shakeel Ahmed on Sunday accused Islamabad of seeking donations from Muslim countries to continue its armed campaign in Jammu and Kashmir.
     
"Pakistan is seeking donations from 40-42 Muslim countries to continue its campaign in Jammu and Kashmir, but their nefarious designs to create trouble through terrorist activities will not succeed in the state as was manifest in the large voter participation in the assembly election despite boycott calls by separatists," he said addressing a conference on terrorism organised by Nehru Yuva Kendra.

Referring to November 26 terror attack on Mumbai, Ahmed said "The attacks were not only an onslaught on our security but a challenge to our nation's pride. We would unitedly defeat the challenge," Ahmed said.
     
"India views with deep concern the use of Pakistani territory to launch terror strikes against us....no country can tolerate such blatant violation of its security," he said adding "Pakistan is indulging in such acts to destroy the communal harmony in India."

Asserting that commonality of religion was not sufficient enough to keep a nation united, Ahmed said "if it were so, Pakistan, which has 95 per cent Muslim population, would not have had to suffer the pangs of division with the creation of Bangladesh."
      
He said India had provided Islamabad incontrovertible evidence of all the ten terrorists involved in the Mumbai attack being Pakistani nationals and demanded deportation of 40 most wanted terrorists to India for trial.  

"Unfortunately, Islamabad is yet to respond positively and constructively to our request," he said.
      
Bihar governor R L Bhatia described the Mumbai strikes as attack on the country and urged the Hindu and Muslim communities to remain in peace for the development of the nation.
