It is immediately not clear as to what prompted Mr. Jamali to rake up the issue. It appears that the establishment here is rattled by banner headliners in a section of the Urdu press carrying the statement of the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, that there was no question of division of Kashmir. ``It is not right to suggest that the division of Kashmir is being contemplated,'' Mr. Jamali told a delegation of journalists from Rawalpindi who met him here. The Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Sheikh Rashid Ahmad, and the Secretary Information, Anwar Mehmood, was present. Mr. Jamali was asked to comment if there was any change in the Government policy on Kashmir in the backdrop of the visit of the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Armitage. A section of the press had been speculating that the U.S. was pressuring Pakistan to accept the Line of Control as permanent border. On the Indian allegations of "cross-border infiltration'' Mr. Jamali referred to the statement, the President, Pervez Musharraf, had made in the past, that Pakistan would not allow its soil to be used for any terrorist activities anywhere.
