Peace on LoC necessary to engage with Pakistan: India
2013-11-10
[Pak Daily Times] India said on Saturday peace and tranquillity along the Line of Control (LoC) was must if India and Pakistain were to engage. Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin told news hounds that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
's adviser on foreign affairs, Sartaj Aziz, would be meeting Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on the sidelines of the November 11-12 Asia-Europe Meeting. He said their talks would "take up the outcome of the last meeting -- that for India and Pakistain to engage it is important as a precondition that there should be peace and tranquillity on the Line of Control... And where to go forward based on their assessment on the situation elapsed". Aziz has also sought a meeting with the Indian prime minister during the visit, he added. An Indian news agency quoting sources in the pro-independence Jammu and Kashmire Liberation Front (JKLF) in Srinagar reported that JKLF chief Muhammad Yasin Malik
...chairman of one of the two factions of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front. JKLF is a Kashmiri nationalist organization founded in Birmingham, UK in 1977. Branches weren't actually established in Kashmir for another ten years. It has the usual demands for separation of J&K from secular India so it can become an independent Islamic rathole. It seems to have no interest in Pak Kashmir breaking away to join it. In 1994 Malik renounced violence after he was released from jail and from that point he and his organization pursued peaceful means to impose their will on the region...
has received an invitation to meet Aziz when the latter arrives in New Delhi today (Sunday). Sources said Hurriyat leaders Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq have also received an invitation from Pakistain Deputy High Commissioner Mansoor Ahmad Khan to meet Aziz in New Delhi. The Himalayan region of Kashmire has been the spark of two of three wars fought by nuclear-armed India and Pakistain since their independence from Britannia in 1947. A spike in fighting along the LoC in January stalled peace talks between Pakistain and India, which had recently resumed following a three-year hiatus sparked by the 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people.
