London, Jan. 2 :    London, Jan. 2:  Despite the best efforts of the Vajpayee government, neither Britain nor the US sees a parallel between the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on September 11 and the assault on the Indian Parliament on December 13. This was made clear today in London after Jack Straw, the British foreign secretary, confirmed that Prime Minister Tony Blair will be leaving this weekend and expecting to spend just over a day in Bangladesh, three to four days in India and a couple of days in Pakistan. Although Blair will want to talk about trade and aid, especially with India, the visit has a domestic dimension as well, given that Britain has 1.5 million people of Indian origin, some very influential, over 5,00,000 Pakistanis and 3,00,000 Bangladeshis. In the most diplomatic language possible, the British Prime Minister will argue that the Bush-Blair doctrine of pursuing terrorists to the countries which support them does not really apply to India because the Kashmir dispute is a historic one. However, Blair will press President Pervez Musharraf to do more to curb Kashmiri terrorist groups based in Pakistan while urging both Islamabad and Delhi to exercise 'restraint'. As matters now stand, Musharraf is seen as a crucial western ally whom neither Bush nor Blair will do anything to destabilise - even if he is a military dictator. From Straw's comments today, it is obvious that the British and the Americans are coordinating their approach to India and Pakistan. It has, at least, been accepted that the Kashmiri terrorist groups are based in Pakistan. Straw said today: 'The position of the UK government as of the US and the UN is that we understand and recognise that India and Pakistan have a different point of view and they are entitled to their different points of view about the future of Kashmir. However, in the new climate against terrorism, it is not acceptable there should be groups in either of those countries - and they happen to be within Pakistan - who seek to pursue their political objectives by the violent means of terrorists.' He echoed Indian sentiments when he added: 'It is also very important that we appreciate that there has been not one but two attacks, right at the heart of Indian democracy, first on the state Assembly in Srinagar on October 1 - and apparently there has been a further attack there today - and then on the national Parliament on December 13. 'If these had happened in the Edinburgh and London Parliaments of the UK, the political pressure on us would be very intense. Action has to be taken, as well as the fact that both sides, recognising that this issue can in the end only be resolved by discussion, have to show restraint in terms of military build-up.'
