Let denies statement on cease fire in J&K

Srinagar, Jan 20: Refuting the media report about truce offer in J&K, Lashkar-Toiba today claimed that it has never offered to give up its 'armed struggle in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

A caller identifying himself as Dr Abdullah Gaznavi chief spokesman of LeT told News Agency of Kashmir that the out fit will continue its armed struggle in Jammu and Kashmir and there was no question of resorting to other means.

Referring to the statement in a section of media attributed to him, the caller said he has never made such any statement to any media organization but his name has been used only to defame the out fit.
