Taliban not being pushed into J-K: Govt

New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI) Government today rubbished media reports about Taliban being diverted into Jammu and Kashmir but said efforts are being made from Pakistan to push in other terrorists with the "institutional support" of the army there.

"The reports of Taliban militants being pushed into Jammu and Kashmir are baseless. These are nothing but speculative reports," Home Minister P Chidambaram told mediapersons in Mumbai reacting to reports that Pakistan was planning to push as many as 60 "surrendered" Taliban into Jammu and Kashmir to become part of the "jihad" against India.

Asked to comment on the reports about Taliban, Defense Minister A K Antony evaded a direct reply, merely saying "By and large, they (terrorist groups) are always trying to push maximum number of people into Jammu and Kashmir.
