United Nations: Raking up Kashmir issue once again in the United Nations and describing it as the "most
dangerous dispute in the world," Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on September 24, said
a "sustained" dialogue with India was necessary to resolve the problem.
He also said he would "invite" India to observe complete ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in
Kashmir.
"I invite India to join Pakistan in a sustained dialogue to resolve the Kashmir dispute. I am convinced
that, with goodwill, we can find a just solution which is acceptable to India, to Pakistan and above all, to
the Kashmir people," he told the United Nations General Assembly.
Rejecting the charge that Islamabad was indulging in cross border terrorism, he accused New Delhi
of "exploiting" anti-terrorism sentiments to "delegitimize the Kashmiri freedom struggle."
He also alleged that India was violating the international law by refusing to implement the Security
Council resolutions and "perpetrating gross and consistent violations of human rights in Kashmir."
"Pakistan would also be prepared to encourage a general cessation of violence within Kashmir, involving
reciprocal obligations and restraints on Indian forces and the Kashmir freedom movement," he added.
