Narayanan refutes Pakistan's charges on blasts

Kochi, May 26 (UNI) National Security Advisor M K Narayanan today refuted Pakistan's charges that India did not share intelligence inputs with them on the Samjhauta Express blasts.

Mr Narayanan, on a personal visit here, said ''Working within the limits, we have extended full cooperation to Pakistan on the blasts.'' On the volatile situation in Punjab, he ruled out any foreign hand and said the Union and State Governments were monitoring the developments and hoped that the problem would be sorted out in a day or two.

Making it clear that India would not intervene in the Sri Lankan ethnic issue, Mr Narayanan said the secretary-level talks would be held with the visiting Sri Lankan Defence Secretary tomorrow.

''We will hold talks with them and try to find out what they want,'' he added.
