| SP appeals PM, Musharraf to speed up peace process | | |
SRINAGAR, JULY 8
Samajwadi Party today appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf to take advantage of peaceful situation prevailing in Jammu and Kashmir and speed up the ongoing peace process to resolve the Kashmir issue once for all.
"The ongoing peace process between India and Pakistan appears to have slowed down. We appeal to the Prime Minister and Musharraf to speed up the process and resolve Kashmir issue to the entire satisfaction of the two countries including people of Jammu and Kashmir," SP general secretary and MP Shahid Sidique told reporters here.
He said the two countries should take advantage of the present peaceful situation in the state and resolve the issue.
Sidique said internal problems being faced by Pakistan for the last few months was one of the reasons for slow speed of the ongoing peace process. The Pakistan President is preoccupied with internal problems of that country, he said.
The SP leader said resolution of Kashmir issue needed political will and risk. Both countries have to take the ongoing peace process to the logical conclusion and ensure everlasting peace in the region, Sidique said.
He also counselled militants to forget the past and extend full support to the ongoing peace process so as the issue is resolved.
Sidique said his party in Jammu and Kashmir has been strengthened after the veteran politician of the state Sheikh Abdul Rehman took the charge of the state unit.
