MINISTERS CONFER
AT SRINAGAR
Raiders Infiltrate
New Delhi, Nov. L-Two Indian dominion ministers flew to Srinagar, Kashmir, for urgent defence talks today as invading forces described by Liaquat Ali Khan, the Pakistan Premier, as fighting "for their very existence" were reported in a battle against Indian Government troops less than 10 miles from the Kashmir capital.
During the day a statement issued at Lahore by the Pakistan Government said West Punjab (Pakistan) home guardsmen had fired on Indian Government troops who had shot at Moslem refugees fleeing from the dominantly Hindu-Jammu section of Kashmir.
Broadcasting from Labore tonight, Liaquat Ali Khan asserted the fight in Kashmir was a part of the "widespread plan for the extermination of Moslena", and accused the India Government of helping to "wipe them out".
