 NEW DELHI (AP) - An opposition leader accused India's government Sunday of trying to settle the half-century old dispute with Pakistan over Kashmir by backing away from New Delhi's long held position that the Himalayan region is an integral part of its territory.
The statement came amid weekend violence in the divided region.
Four suspected guerrillas were killed and three policemen wounded overnight in separate shootouts in the Indian-controlled area of Kashmir, authorities said Sunday. At the same time, two children were killed near the cease-fire line when they picked up an abandoned explosive, police said.
