Pressing for demilitarisation of Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has offered to withdraw his troops from the Line of Control (LoC) as part of an overall settlement of the Kashmir issue and favoured implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution.

Musharraf, in an article in the latest issue of Kashmir Affairs magazine published here, emphasised on the four-point proposal, including setting aside options unacceptable to either side, to resolve the vexed issue.

The other proposals are acceptance of the "dispute" of Kashmir, meaningful and sustained dialogue process and examining other possible solutions acceptable to all parties, "mainly to the people of Jammu and Kashmir."

Insisting on demilitarisation, Musharraf said it "can also be part of the overall settlement. On our part we are prepared to withdraw our troops from the Line of Control as part of an overall settlement."

He recalled that he had earlier suggested that in the main cities of Jammu and Kashmir - Srinagar, Kupwara and Baramulla, "all troops could be moved out to the outskirts in order to demilitarise the cities.

"Let us use all our energies, all of our resources and all our influence to ensure that there is no militancy in these cities."

Referring to the "role and the responsibility of the international community in helping both Pakistan and India to make progress and solve this long outstanding dispute of Kashmir," he said the UN Security Council Resolution represents "a solemn commitment and promise by international community to the people of Kashmir."

Musharraf said: "Regrettably, over the decades these resolutions have been unimplemented despite representing an international legality. Within the United Nations and other important world forums such as the European Parliament there is a great deal of emphasis on upholding freedoms and human rights."

"The protagonists of these values cannot reside from their responsibility to address a dispute that represents denial of fundamental rights to the people as promised and sanctified internationally in the shape of the United Nations Security Council Resolution.

"We believe that this resolution is the best form of confidence building, the best assurance for peace and thereby an effective catalyst for progress and economic development," he said.

Interestingly, both former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and European Union rapporteur Emma Nicholson have clearly stated that the UN resolutions on self-determination were not implementable as Pakistan had failed to fulfill the grounds for implementing them.

Musharraf stressed that the history of the Kashmir issue is inextricably linked to the interests of Pakistan and India. He said there ought to be institutional arrangements, which could accommodate these interests to ensure "self-governance" by the people of Kashmir.

Musharraf said confidence building measures (CBMs) by the two countries are certainly important to create a better environment but the "peace process has to move beyond CBMs which are largely a means towards an end and not an end in itself."

Why is mushraff so keen in demilitarisation of kashmir? Isnt he who planned the Kargil?
 
.
Heh. :cheesy:

Who on earth wants to believe this man ? Nobody in India takes him seriously when he makes these funny statements once in a while.

The General is not even sensible enough to present ideas in the correct channels. Sorry, India is ruled in a much better manner and we dont conduct diplomacy in the media.

Seriously, this guy is better off with a little less addiction to cheap publicity.

Dimilitarisation or Ususal encounters?

Sorry, India is ruled in a much better manner and we dont conduct diplomacy in the media.

Please let us know.

If he is not serious then who is serious ?...any response from India, or just taking his comment as usuall daily foriegn desk breifing or de-breifing. At least his approach to India is on the record, that he is doing all his best to establish peace, cuz next day somone blow himself in India he can easily defend himself for his on record peace offers to India. Indian been singing cross border terrorism for long time, its time for Indian army to protect their border from so called infilteration and do their job properly and stop pointing finger at neigbours.
Isn't it smart..lolzzz

India doesn't take anything seriously whn it comes to Kashmir. Have you ever wondered why Pakistan is always the first to reach out? :rolleyes:

Media is a powerful weapon as it reaches the masses. ;)

Actually he's giving India the snub by just letting his own position at the higher moral ground be known to the world.

It automatically throws the ball at India's court. He is making India respond to the world "No, no, we want to militarily occupy Kashmir at all costs". Makes India look like a jackass :D.

The way you( read Paksitan) tried to reach out in 47 and during Kargil?

As long as the WoT is on, kashmir is going to be quiet/calm. No leader replacing Mushraff will have the guts to light up the insurgency again.

Asim thats not the case. GOI spokesperson has already rebuted Mushraffs media overtures by saying any proposals have to be made thru proper chanels and not thru the media.

But Mushraff cannot control his words when he seeing the camera. he needs to try a hand in bollywood.

Mate, what happened in 1947 was the result of Hari Singh's unwillingness to provide just to the people and let them decide their fate. Lucky for Kashmir that is shares border with us otherwise it would have met same fate as Hyderabad Deccan or Goa. :rolleyes:
There's still hope for the people of Kashmir and we intend to reach out to them till they get what they want.
Kargill was just a message to your armed forces and it was well understood. ;)

We don't believe in forceful solution, Kashmir insurgency is an old tactic which served well till 9/11 but we've moved on to diplomatic measures and come up with zillion new proposals, heck Musharraf even offered to demiliterise the zone. How long before you bow to international pressure to do so when WoT is over?
Time will tell...:cheers:
