| Hurriyat favours serious debate on Musharraf's idea of joint management | | | Srinagar,August 22 :-Kashmiri separatists favour a meaningful discussion on Pakistan President Gen. Parvez Musharraf's idea of self-governance, demilitarization and joint management.
The APHC leadership does not want India to reject the idea because it had emanated from Pakistan establishment.
According to a senior APHC leader, Prof. Abdul Gani Bhat,"detailed debate on self-governance,demilitarisation and joint management to be followed by sincere implementation will lead to the final settlement of the Kashmir issue."
Prof. Bhat said today "since India has agreed to resume the dialogue with Pakistan it will be better for Delhi to discuss the ideas floated by Gen. Musharraf."
"I firmly believe if an arrangement is hammered out which could ensure self-governance, demilitarization and joint management it is bound to result in the final resolution of the Kashmir issue to the flutter of people in the entire globe," the APHC leader said. In reply to a question Prof. Bhat said that "self-governance under a new dispensation will be different from the Government elected by people under the Indian Election Commission." He said "if Gen. Musharraf's ideas were implemented the state of Jammu and Kashmir could remain within India but out of the constitution of India."
He explained "we will have our own Supreme court, Election commission and those Indian laws which were repugnant to our separate identity were to be
scrapped."
Replying to another question the Hurriyat leader said that defence, foreign affairs,telecommunication could fall in the domain of the joint management and rest of the affairs should rest with the state. Asked whether under such dispensation the state could meet expenses required for development works, and for meeting the wage bill of its employees, Prof. Bhat said "this sector will be taken care of by India and Pakistan."
He said that when "we favour Islamabad and Delhi and centre and the Hurriyat conference to make talks Kashmir centric we mean that various ideas and solutions for settling the Kashmir issue needed to be discussed."
When asked whether demilitarisation meant withdrawing of troops not only from within the state but from the entire LOC the APHC leader said "when
India and Pakistan agree on joint management there will be no need for guarding the LOC against any infiltration or armed attack." "Any armed attack will be from a friend on a friend, "he said
