The Delhi Declaration signed on Wednesday by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Russian President Vladimir Putin focused on the issue of cross-border terrorism and not on the "Kashmir movement", a foreign ministry statement in Islamabad said.

"It is unfortunate that the Russian leadership has been taken in by the Indian propaganda," it said adding that "the unwarranted and unbalanced references" to Pakistan in the "so-called Delhi Declaration" was disappointing.

The statement said, "Pakistan expects Russia, as a major power, to play a constructive role in addressing the grave and fundamental problems in peace and security in South Asia.

"It is regrettable that the legitimate, genuine and indigenous Kashmir freedom struggle has not been a given a due consideration."

Pakistan had not expected any "objectivity or reason" from the Indian leadership, it added.

Charging that the declaration had not taken into consideration alleged human rights violation by Indian security forces in Kashmir, it said, "The Russian side has also failed to notice India's adamant refusal to resolve the Kashmir dispute in a fair and just manner on the basis of UN resolutions and in accordance with the wishes of the Kashmiri people."
