Pinto Narboo hails President Musharraf’s proposals on
Kashmir
Islamabad, March 16: Member of so-called
Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Ladakh, Indian administrated
Kashmir, Pinto Narboo has hailed the proposals by President Pervez
Musharraf for the resolution of the decades-old Kashmir problem.
He said a swift reduction in the
deployment of troops in Kashmir was imperative.
Troops
deployment in disputed territory (Kashmir), he said should be
reduced and people-to-people contacts should be strengthened.
He said reduction of troops in Kashmir would encourage an
open environment and would further cement confidence-building
measures between Pakistan and India.
The MLA urged both
India and Pakistan to strengthen confidence-building measures to
support the dialogue process.
“India does not enjoy strong
economy like USA. A lot of money is being spent on army deployment
in disputed Kashmir. The resolution of Kashmir would simultaneously
bring peace and prosperity to India as well as Pakistan.
There is a dire need for both the countries to reciprocate
on the efforts of resolving Kashmir,” he said.
