Zardari vows to wage 'thousand-year ideological war' with India over Kashmir | President Asif Ali Zardari has said that Pakistan is ready to wage a thousand-year war with India over the
Kashmir dispute. The Daily Times quoted Zardari as saying that this was a war
of ideologies and would last for generations. Addressing a joint session of the
Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Assembly and the Kashmir Council, Zardari said democratic
governments had played a key role in moving forward on the Kashmir dispute. "When
Zulfikar had spoken of waging a thousand-year war, he never said he would not
do it through talks or negotiations," he said. President Zardari said regional
peace was inextricably linked to the settlement of the decades-old dispute over
Kashmir . "We cannot de-link regional peace from peace in Kashmir . we have highlighted
this thinking in the world and will keep projecting it," he said. Describing Kashmir
as the "jugular vein" of Pakistan , the president said: "soon the time will come
when the world will take important decisions regarding Kashmir ". Zardari said
Pakistan and India should learn to live in peace. "We know that we cannot change
our neighbours but they should also know that they can also not change their neighbours,"
he said. The president also announced the formation of a committee under Kashmir
Affairs Minister Manzoor Wattoo that would focus on assisting the people of Kashmir. |
