Wednesday, October 29 2003 18:37 Hrs (IST)
Islamabad: Pakistan today (Oct 29) offered a three-point proposal exclusively for people of Kashmir and
hoped that India would allow them to accept the offer.
"Pakistan will offer 100 scholarship for Kashmiri students to study in professional institutions at graduate
and post-graduate level," Foreign Secretary Riaz Khokhar told reporters in Islamabad.
He said that Pakistan would also offer treatment for disabled Kashmiris and would assist and
help "widows and victims of rape, affected by the various operations launched by security agencies".
He said that Pakistan would like International Rights groups like Amnesty International and Human
Rights Watch to get access to deserving Kashmiris to avail the facilities offered by Islamabad.
"We hope India will allow the Kashmiris to accept the offer we have made. We are clear in our mind. We
want improved relations with India. But this is going to be on the basis of dignity and honour and on the
basis of mutual interest."
