Home Minister P. Chidambaram said reports of Taliban militants infiltrating into Jammu and Kashmir lack credence. Speaking at a press conference in Mumbai on the sidelines of his canvassing for the polls, Chidambaram said there was no possibility of Taliban militants entering India as the country's security forces are always vigilant. There is no credence to that story. It is baseless, Chidambaram said. Our security forces are vigilant and have been able to foil many attempts of infiltration from across the border, he added. Defence Minister A.K. Antony too echoed Chidambaram's assurances. He told newspersons in New Delhi that our armed forces are always on the guard and ensure no infiltration is taking place. I do not expect large-scale infiltration, he added.
