Musharraf on Kashmir

Former Pakistan president Gen Pervez Musharraf has reiterated that he “wasn’t far from resolving’’ the Kashmir problem with PM Manmohan Singh on the basis of his formula of demilitarising the region and making boundaries irrelevant. Musharraf said this at a function at the House of Lords on Tuesday night. He maintained that out of the three disputes, the two countries were close to solving the most difficult one—Kashmir. “May I compliment Prime Minister Singh for his vision, flexibility and sincerity,’’ he said.
