Indian intransigence is a barrier in achieving breakthrough on the core issue of Kashmir. It was disclosed by the Chair of Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Mushahid Hussain Syed, while briefing to the 13-member delegation from the Royal College of Defence Studies, UK, now visiting Pakistan.
According to him, except for this pique the composite dialogue and back channel diplomacy between India and Pakistan had continued and developed broad consensus in relations between the two neighbours. Senator Hussain also said, "US-India nuclear agreement has violated both international regulations and US laws, and this has compelled the US to change the law."
He briefed the British team, led by Admiral Sir Ian Garnet, in details about country's foreign policy, particularly, focused on the intricacy of relations between Pakistan and India. He added that General Pervez Musharaf took a number of significant steps to resolve Kashmir issue, through dialogue, but the matter had not moved out of groove, not for lack of trying on Pakistan's part.
In this regard he dealt with the situation after the 9/11 tragedy and now Pakistan had suffered a lot from the backlash of terrorism. Even the Pakistan President and the Prime Minister had escaped from by suicide attacks. However, he observed that some of the foul comments about Islam from western leaders and opinion makers had developed the environment of mistrust and widened the gulf between western countries and the Muslim nations.
Throwing the lights on Afghan issue he welcomed President Hamid Karzai's proposal to initiate dialogue with moderate forces in Afghanistan, including the moderate elements of Taliban for the sake of peace. The visiting Admiral expressed thanks for comprehensive view of this part of the world which helped in understanding the security concerns of Pakistan.
