Gilani's 'stuck-record' K-rant, says friendship with India impossible without resolution |
Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, it seems,
makes a special mention in his diary that he has to rake up the Kashmir issue
in each of his speeches, as he has once again linked friendly relations with India
to the resolution of the Kashmir issue. Addressing a public gathering in Pakistan
occupied Kashmir's Gilgit, Gilani said 'good relations' with India were not possible
without the settlement of the Kashmir issue. "We want good relations with all
our neighbours - be it China, India, Afghanistan or Iran. But we want these relations
based on equality. We are an atomic power. Without a resolution to the Kashmir
issue, good relations with India are not possible," The Daily Times quoted Gilani.
He reiterated that the long pending issue should be resolved according to the
aspirations of the people of Kashmir. Announcing a massive development package
for Gilgit-Baltistan, Gilani said the government has allocated 870 million rupees
for the development of health services in the region. "You will witness a well-established
effective communication network, attractions for tourists, massive tree plantation
and an efficient and modern police force in the area," he said. Gilani also announced
that the Skardu and Gilgit airport would be developed and upgraded and added that
a housing colony would be built for journalists based in the region. |
