LAHORE: President Mohammad AyubKhan today [Aug 5] said there was no truth whatsoever in the Indian allegations that Pakistan was training the rebel Mizo tribes of Assam in guerrilla warfare.

He said the fact of the matter was that some of the Mizo tribals who lived in India along Pakistani border, `were forcefully driven by the Indians into our border and became liability on us.` Remarking that obviously Pakistan could do nothing in the matter the President added: `Shall we shoot them? We have no heart to do so.

The real trouble, he said, was that India did not look after her people. Instead they ill-treated their minorities and tried to put the blame on others.

So far as Pakistan was concerned, she was interested in peace on her borders, he added.
