KARACHI, Pakistan, April 29 —The Pakistan radio said to night that Indian allegations that Pakistani forces had entered Indian territory and had fired on Indian nationals were “absolutely untrue and base less” and charged that India was sending more infiltrators into Pakistan.
The radio also reported that the Pakistani President, Gen. Agha Mohammad Yahya Khan, had received a message from the Soviet Premier, Aleksei N. Kosygin, but did not disclose its contents. It warned that Pakistan might retaliate if India did not improve her treatment of Mehdi Masud, the senior Pakistani representative in Calcutta.
The Pakistan radio's denial and countercharge on reported border incursions followed an Indian charge that Pakistani troops had invaded Indian territory this week and had killed at least five Indians.
