Русская версияIndia's prime minister, Manmohan Singh, has used his Independence
Day speech to call for stronger measures to deal with terrorism.
Singh described terrorism and fundamentalism as major challenges to
the unity of his country, and said improved intelligence services
and police forces were needed to combat them.
The main focus of his
concern was the escalating violence in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Singh appealed to Kashmiri Muslim separatists to end protests that
have left 34 people dead in the past six weeks, and called for a
peaceful resolution to the conflict. Security in Indian Kashmir has
been stepped up for the independence day celebrations.
