MUSHARRAF'BILATERAL APPROACH TO KASHMIR

President Pervez Musharraf on Monday said Pakistan was taking a “bilateral approach” to amicably resolve the Kashmir issue for the economic benefit of the people and hoped “good sense” will prevail on both sides.
In his first public comments on Kashmir after the Yousuf Raza Gillani-led government assumed office last month, retired General Musharraf laid emphasis on resolving the “festering” issue bilaterally, a departure from Pakistan’s traditional stance for third party mediation. “The dispute with Kashmir, as far as Pakistan is concerned... may I say very proudly that we are going on a bilateral approach with India,” President Musharraf told teachers and students at the elite Tsinghua University here
