| President Gen Pervez Musharraf has extended warm greetings to all Kashmiri brothers and sisters on Eidul Fitr.

"But no, no! We're not fomenting terrorist attacks there! Not us! And we're not infiltrating people across the border, not us!" He assured them that Pakistan would persist in this policy until a fair settlement of the Kashmir dispute was reached in accordance with the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

The president also said: "As we celebrate Eid, we remember with respect and gratitude all those who have laid down their lives in the epic struggle against the Indian occupation. We also salute all our brothers and sisters in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir who have given enormous sacrifices and suffered untold atrocities at the hands of the Indian occupation forces." "These are different from the untold atrocities they've suffered at the hands of the Pak infiltrators and internal snuffies..." |
