No peace in S. Asia without solution to Kashmir: PM
2009-10-09
[Dawn] Prime Minister of Pakistan Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Thursday that peace in South Asia could not be restored without solving the Kashmir issue.

The Government of Pakistan will provide all possible financial aid to those affected by the earthquake in Kashmir on priority basis, said the PM while talking to the media on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the October 8, 2005 earthquake, here on Thursday.

Gilani said the October 08 earthquake showed us such devastating scenes which will haunt us for centuries to come.

'It was very cumbersome to conduct relief operation in the earthquake-hit areas, but the people of Pakistan, Kashmir with the help of non-government organizations did it with dedication and now we could proudly say that relief operations have been completed,' Gilani said.

He said that the reconstruction work would also be finished within the stipulated time and the Pakistani government would provide all possible help in this regard.

The premier said the PPP government would continue to make serious efforts to resolve the Kashmir issue and was ready to render every sacrifice for this cause.

Gilani also inaugurated the new facilities at the Combined Military Hospital constructed with the help of UAE at a cost of Rs2.14 billion. The prime minister also announced to provide more facilities to the hospital.
