Foreign ministry spokesman Tariq Altaf, who gave these details, said the envoys would focus on ``India's continued military action in Kashmir, her rejection of dialogue and peaceful negotiations as well as mutual respect for the line of control and cessation of hostilities''.

Pakistani foreign minister Sartaj Aziz will also be travelling to Burkina Fasso later this week to attend the Foreign Ministers' conference of the Organisation of Islamic Conference, Altaf said.

Continuing to put its spin on the G-8's statement issued over the weekend, the spokesman said the phrase ``any military actionto change the status quo is irresponsible'' actually referred to the alleged violation of line of control by India in 1972 and in 1984 and also across-the-LoC firing between 1996 and 1998.

A spokesman for the Inter-Services Public Relations was meanwhile quoted as saying that anti-aircraft guns had been installed at all Pakistani airports and vital government installations as part of measures to deal with the situation arising from fears of a ``possible attack by India.'' The Civil Aviation Authorities also confirmed special security arrangements made at airports.

More action was evident in Islamabad, where Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif held a high-level meeting with top civil and military officials to review the overall situation. Sharif chaired the meeting that was also attended by Foreign Minister Sartaj Aziz, Foreign Secretary Shamshad Ahmed, Army Chief and chairman of joint chiefs of staff committee General Pervez Musharraf, and the head of an intelligence agency who was not identified in mediareports today.

Army and intelligence chiefs briefed Sharif on three aspects: the "emerging threat" from across the border, the state of operational preparedness of the Pakistani army and the overall plan to frustrate the "ulterior motives of India," the report said.

A report from London says the Muttahida Quami Movement has accused the Pakistani government of misleading the people and keeping them in the dark about "true developments" in Kargil, saying Islamabad's actions were akin to the blunders of the 1971 war.

"The government-run television and radio are indulging in propagandism and keeping the facts away from the people about the almost warlike situation in the region," MQM's overseas organiser Mohammed Anwar said in a letter to President Rafiq Tarar and Army Chief Gen Parvez Musharraf.
