Pak PM Nawaz Sharif invites Geelani to Pakistan
Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (G) said on Saturday that Pakistan prime
minister Nawaz Sharif has invited its chairman Syed Ali Geelani to
Pakistan.
A Hurriyat (G) spokesman said Pakistan high commissioner in India Abdul Basit handed the invitation letter to Geelani at a dinner at his residence at Tilak Marg in New Delhi last night.
In the letter, the spokesman said, Sharif has said that Kashmir is not a border dispute but concerns right to self determination of two crore people, while stating that unless Kashmir is resolved, there can be no progress on bilateral ties with India.
Sharif, the spokesman added, termed the Kashmir issue as an unfinished agenda of the Partition, adding without resolution of the dispute, friendly relations between New Delhi and Islamabad would only be “self deception”.
The Pakistan PM also blamed India’s “unwillingness to talk” as the reason behind the aborted talks between the National Security Advisors of the two countries.
“We want good relations with all our neighbours including India but New Delhi’s unrealistic approach has been a big impediment,” the Hurriyat spokesman said, quoting Sharif’s letter.
Pakistan, India should live like ‘good neighbours’
Pakistan and India should live like “good neighbours” and resolve all issues including Kashmir through dialogue, Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif said on Saturday.
“I raised the issue of Kashmir in the UN with courage and spoke out my heart (over the issue). I also gave a proposal to India to improve ties with Pakistan.
“We (Indian and Pakistan) should live like good neighbours and find out a solution to the Kashmir issue,” Sharif said while talking to reporters at the Governor’s House in Lahore.
The prime minister said he told the United Nations that it was its resolution on Kashmir and not that of Pakistan therefore it was the body’s duty to implement it.
“I spoke the truth while looking into their eyes. The UN should realise itself and implement its resolution on Kashmir,” he said.
In his address last week at the United Nations General Assembly, Sharif had proposed a four-point formula to improve ties with India.
He proposed demilitarisation of Kashmir, immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Indian troops from Siachen, resumption of composite dialogue and formalisation of border ceasefire.Jammu man who attempted to unfurl flag a government employee

Udhampur incident: Truck driver recounts horrific incident
Rameez
Bhat, who managed to escape unhurt after goons set his truck on fire
told CNS he still doesn’t believe he is alive. “The goons wanted to see
us dead on spot but fortunately we are still alive. “After unloading our
apple laden truck (JK03D-1142) in New Delhi, we loaded truck with coal
and left for our home. Besides Showkat Dar from our neighbouring
Wuranhal hamlet, my conductor, Zahid Rasool Bhat (16) who is also my
neighbour was accompanying me. It was around 12 of the night when we
reached Udhampur. We decided to halt for a night near a place probably
called Shivpur. As we went to sleep, a group of people vigorously
started knocking the right and left windows of our truck. When we didn’t
open up the windows, they started pelting stones on the truck. Suddenly
they smashed the front windshield and lobbed a petrol bomb inside the
truck. The truck caught fire and in a bid to save our lives, we jumped
from the truck. The goons who were standing at a distance chased Showkat
and Zahid while taking advantage of darkness, I hid myself under the
truck,” he said.
