Pakistan's Role In Hijaking Proof of Pak role, says India Found At:  http://www.deccanchronicleonline.com/cover6.htm 13 Jan. 2000 (The source may have copy right.)              New York: Evidence of Pakistan’s involvement in the recent hijacking of an Indian              Airlines plane and other terrorist activities is “overwhelming” and India has               provided “conclusive proof” of that, Indian Ambassador to the US Naresh              Chandra has said.              Talking to mediapersons on Tuesday, he said terrorism emanating from Pakistan              was not Kashmir specific and that it effects had been felt worldwide including in              New York where world trade centre was bombed.             “Even if the Kashmir issue were to resolved today, the Pakistani terrorism would              not stop,” he said. “The hijackers were Pakistanis, they sought release of Pakistani              terrorists and escaped into Pakistan along with released prisoners,” he said,              wondering what more of proof was needed to show Islamabad’s involvement in              the episode.              He rejected the criticism of the Indian government’s handling of the hijacking crisis              saying that in such situations there are no clear cut solutions but options which are              often murky. The only thing that could be done was to select the best possible              option, he said.              Asked on India’s inability to convince the US about Pakistan’s involvement,              Chandra said Washington required no convincing as there were several reports              from its own agencies detailing terrorists activities emanating from Pakistan.               The only thing the US has not done under its law is to declare Pakistan a terrorist              State but the administration’s spokesmen have said the case was under constant              review, he said.             ‘Pak madrasas train terrorists’              New Delhi: India has charged Pakistan with converting its madrasas (religious              schools) into a training ground for ultras to unleash cross-border terrorism and              warned world leaders against this menace.              Participating in a TV programme, India’s High Commissioner to Pakistan G              Parthasarathy said Islamabad’s design had spread its “tentacles far and wide” and              there was instance of a terrorist from Pakistan killing CIA officials. There are over              10,000 to 15,000 ‘so called’ madrasas in Pakistan, he said. Azhar’s taped (Anti India & US) speech  circulated in Kanpur (India)              Lucknow: Audio tapes of fiery speeches by freed extremist Masood Azhar are              being aired in the communally sensitive city of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh where the              police has stepped up guard. It was not clear when exactly the tapes were made              although the police believe that they were brought into the State about four months              ago.              “I don’t want to see the youth wasting their time in cricket or football, I am interested              in those who are willing to wield the AK-47, pistols and rocket launchers,” goes one              call by the Pakistani cleric. Azhar, who had been in prison since his arrest in 1994,              was released alongwith two other jailed extremists in a New Year’s-eve swap for              161 passengers and crew of a hijacked Indian Airlines plane.              Azhar is associated with the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, which was previouslyk nown as              the Harkat-ul-Ansar. He has surfaced in Pakistan after his release and has              reportedly made anti-India and anti-US speeches. The police said tapes of his              speeches were being systematically circulated among select audiences.              Kanpur Range DIG Duleep Trivedi said, “Our men are on the job and I am confident              that they would be able to soon lay their hands on some of these tapes, which were              reportedly played at a select gathering in this city.              “The police has reason to believe that only two tapes were received in Kanpur about              four months ago and multiple copies were made later. They were working on the trail              pointed by an informant, whoclaimed to have heard the tapes at a special gathering              recently.               He told the police that “in his vitriolic speech, Azhar terms the US as Islam’s number              one enemy and India as the murderer and tormentor of Muslims in Kashmir.” The              tapes also hail the “martyrdom” of militants gunned down by security forces in              Afghanistan, Sudan, Algeria, Egypt and Kashmir. The police has also discovered              incriminating handbills praising Azhar and hailing the hijackers.
