A visiting leader of Pakistanâs radical Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) Islamic party on Saturday said he had no objection to making the de facto frontier between India and Pakistan in Kashmir a permanent border. âIf both the countries agree to it and it is also accepted by the people of Kashmir, we will not have any objection,â Maulana Fazlur Rehman told the Hindi news channel Aaj Tak in an interview.
| That'd be the catch, there. The jihadis would sooner be gutted than agree to it... |
Rehman, who is heading a four-member delegation to India, said the five-decade dispute over Kashmir could be solved through dialogue between Pakistan and India. The lawmaker is making the rare visit at the invitation of Indiaâs Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind Muslim party and is seeking an audience with Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and other top leaders before winding up the eight-day goodwill trip July 22. |
