Pak-India peace process facing deadlock: AJK president

02 Oct, 2005

Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Major General Sardar Muhammad Anwar Khan (Retd) has said that ongoing peace process between Pakistan and India is facing a deadlock.
Talking to the members of a UK think tank on Friday, he said India did not want to change the boarders, while Pakistan was not ready to accept Line of Control (LoC) as permanent boarder, which created a deadlock in peace process.
Member of the British Parliament Lord Nazir Ahmed was also present on the occasion.
Sardar Anwar Khan said bilateral talks between Pakistan and India could not resolve Kashmir issue.
He urged the international community to play a role towards the solution of Kashmir dispute and avert dangers of a nuclear war in the sub-continent.
The AJK President termed the discussions between Hurriyat leaders and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as useless.
He made it clear that no solution of Kashmir would be acceptable until the Kashmiris not be made a party in the peace process and talks.
He regretted that instead of withdrawal of troops, India was deploying more troops in the occupied Kashmir and did not allow the human rights organisations and neutral experts to visit the occupied valley.
