Time report: LoC inaccurate: India
September 20, 2004 
******************

India on Monday termed as 'completely and wholly inaccurate' a report 
in Time magazine that suggested that India will offer to 'adjust' the 
Line of Control 'by a matter of miles eastwards'.

The American magazine, which has put Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on 
the cover of its latest issue, quoted an unnamed Indian official as 
saying that while in New York, Singh will make an offer to help 
defuse the situation in Kashmir.

Reacting to the report, an official spokesman accompanying Singh 
said, "This is completely and wholly inaccurate. Any suggestion that 
the prime minister will make such an offer is factually wrong.

"As has been said on several occasions, including at the prime 
minister's press conference at 10 Downing Street this afternoon, the 
prime minister looks forward to his meeting with President Gen Pervez 
Musharraf of Pakistan in New York, and to discuss all matters of 
bilateral interest including a review of the composite dialogue.

But "There is no question of any territorial concession being offered 
by India to Pakistan."
