Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf yesterday urged Pakistan and India to put behind their tense bitter past and move toward peace through the resolution of all outstanding problems between them including the core issue of Kashmir. Amid a display of military power, Musharraf said that Pakistan will continue its "moral, diplomatic and political" support for separatists in the divided Himalayan region of Kashmir who want freedom from Indian rule. "We are totally with the Kashmiris in their struggle," Musharraf said in an address at a military parade marking Pakistan's National Day, which featured a march through the capital that included thousands of troops, nuclear-capable missiles and other high-tech weaponry. "Our moral, diplomatic and political help will always continue in their struggle until they succeed in their great objective. Our sincere prayers are with them," Musharraf said. |
