But don't you think these sudden developments taking place in our region like Ex Norwegian pm meeting with Hurriyat leadership have some meaning behind it?
Can we think we are going for out of the box solution on kashmir?

It has major implication on Pakistan's Kashmir stand.

Pakistan's stand has always been that entire state of Jammu & Kashmir is a disputed territory between India and Pakistan, pending a final settlement.

Now if Pakistan converts a part of this so called disputed territory into one of the provinces of Pakistan i.e an integral part of Pakistan, Pakistan's stand on rest of J&K being a disputed territory falls through.

So as soon as GB becomes a part of Pakistan then Pakistan does not have leg to stand on and claim that Jammu and Kashmir is still a disputed territory.
