Srinagar, Aug 8: Jammu and Kashmir National Front (NF) chairman Naeem Ahmad Khan on Tuesday asked India to shun stubbornness and give a positive response to the realistic overtures of Gen. Pervez Musharraf thereby to respect the wishes and aspirations of people.

Naeem, according to a statement, was addressing a meeting of NF members at the party headquarters here.

Commenting on present Indo-Pak relations, Naeem Khan said, “It is a golden opportunity for India to ponder upon the realistic overtures of Pakistani President Gen Musharraf with political maturity and keenness of mind and insight to remove the biggest hurdle coming in the way of resolving 57 year old Kashmir tangle. This can ensure viable peace in the subcontinent.”

Referring to the present strain at diplomatic level between India and Pakistan, Khan warned that if India continued its ‘obduracy’ and demonstrated its ‘non-seriousness’ vis-a-vis Pakistan’s positive attitude, it (India) would be responsible for the resultant instability of peace in the subcontinent.

Seems like the writing on the wall's clear from the Kashmiris. Everybody believes that everyone's done enough, now India has to act, and resolve Kashmir. It takes two to tango.

Which so far hasn't been the case. India is sitting on its laurels because it has never been in the mood to truly resolve core disputes. All it wants to do is, keep having more CBMs and you just need one incident like the recent Mumbai bombings to bring India's meter back to zero.

 

[Awesome]

Well we all DO realize India is serving us bullshit under the garb of peace. Even the most realistic offers of Kashmir's resolution are rejected by India. If you hear the comments on Kashmir from BJP, it's all like "What!? And concede something to the Muslims?" For them its a battle between the two faiths.

Mustn't take the BS.

Let faith not decide the policy of a country.

If one looks at the latest terror act in the UK, one of the reason given is that it is because the British citizens of Islamic faith are wild with Blair and Bush's policy in the Middle East i.e. Iraq and now Lebanon and that is their way of protest against the government and the nation..

If that is a reason to blow up airliners, then it means that the US and the UK should base their national policies on the demands of the Islamic faith British citizens.

That unfortunately is not how national policies are made.

Many Pakistanis (the fundamentalist Islamist) are not too happy with Musharraf's policy and therefore there has been assassination attempts on him. Does it mean that Pakistan changes its national policy?

Actually, the fundamentalists interpret the Islamic tenets faithfully to the letter and are convinced that is what is true Islam. Technically, they are right.

However, the majority are with Musharrraf and that is what counts and dictates the national policy.

If you hear the comments on Kashmir from BJP, it's all like "What!? And concede something to the Muslims?" For them its a battle between the two faiths.

That has not been reported in the public forum. Therefore, only an insider would know regarding its veracity.

If it a mere surmise, then it is not worth matured consideration.

Uhm aren't you going off on a weird tangent, while we are talking about India's unwillingness to deal with Kashmir while EVERY party involves thinks the ball is in India's court now, everyone has pampered India enough and now its their turn to do something.

However, the majority are with Musharrraf and that is what counts and dictates the national policy.

Even the Kashmiris?

The thing is Musharraf doesn't HAVE to be right on this issue. He's simply supporting the most logical and sensible things. Which are incidentally also right.

I might sound like George W. Bush when I say this:

When you go against something right, you are wrong.

LoL, sounds like something he'd say right?

That has not been reported in the public forum. Therefore, only an insider would know regarding its veracity.

I got it on tape.

Gotta bless google videos for bringing everything out in the open and providing easy access to long documentaries.

Hardly a TANGENT. More so, not weird actually, if you will.

Haven't heard that EVERY party thinks it is India court. Heard what Boucher said in Delhi just about a few days back? Won't reproduce it so as to not embarrass you.

Pampered?

Hey let me use your own quote:
"When you go against something right, you are wrong". You did a LOL. I double that!

Even the Kashmiris?

Indeed.

I will give you an allegory that will be easy for you to understand.

The terrorists (claiming to be of the Islamic faith) are beheading, kidnapping and butchering innocents. These are high profile activities that are sensational to catch the imagination of the world at large.
Are you suggesting that because of these terrorists, every person of the Islamic faith is a terrorist?

These high profile obnoxious activities are obviously does not have the sanction of the people of the Islamic faith at large. That is what is stated so ever often.

There is a vast majority of people of the Islamic faith who do not subscribe to these mindless killings, but are a silent majority.

Likewise, let the foreign inspired and funded terrorist actions in Kashmir not be taken as an indication that the majority of Kashmiris are with the terrorists or terrorists per se or with Pakistan.

Like the majority of the world Islamic community are silent about the terrorists who take the name of Allah, the majority of the Kashmiris are likewise silent!

So, one should not read actions as vindication of view that appeals to one.

The thing is Musharraf doesn't HAVE to be right on this issue. He's simply supporting the most logical and sensible things. Which are incidentally also right.

Neat.

Musharraf need not be right, you state.

Yet, that is logical and sensible!

Sound like an Opposition politician who is in exile and wanting to return home desperately! :thumbsup:

Do bless us with this tape?

Or are you doing the castle?
