Peace with dignity in Jammu & Kashmir soon: Mufti
THE KASHMIR TIMES
SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed today said the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has changed for good and the objective of complete peace will be realized soon.
Mufti was talking to the delegates of European Union who had called on him at his residence. The delegates are in Kashmir for three days Indo-EU round table meet. "There is a discernible change in the situation. There is a relaxation in the atmosphere, People can move freely which was not possible before", he said.
Mufti said that his government is committed to bring complete peace in the state and all efforts are being done in this regard. "We are committed to bring about complete peace with dignity and ensure all round development in the state", he said.
Mufti said the steps taken by the coalition government had instill sense of security among the people. "Long period of turmoil in the sate has damaged the basic infrastructure in critical sectors like education and communication. We have taken a pledge to take the state out of the turmoil. And we have been successful in this endeavor" he said.
The chief minister said that the government's healing touch policy was aimed at nursing the wounds of the people and it has started to pay dividends as people were now feeling a greater sense of security.
Reaffirming his faith in democracy, Mufti said that the coalition believed in the freedom of expression and that is why several separatist leaders were released from jails. "The government has promoted a free atmosphere where dissent is treated as part of democratic right. Security forces have been made accountable and any body found guilty of any sort of human rights abuses is being dealt with according to law", he said. Mufti urged the EU delegates to impress upon their government to withdraw travel advisories barring people from visiting Kashmir because the situation has changed.
The European co-chairman of Indo-European Round Table Roger Briech expressed satisfaction over the commitment to peace and development of the chief minister. He said he would return with positive impressions of Kashmir.

Riprende il dialogo tra Pakistan e Nuovo governo indiano.
Oggi c'e' stato il primo incontro tra i ministri degli esteri di India e Pakistan, ad un mese dall'elezione del nuovo governo indiano. Il pachistano Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri e il suo omologo, l'indiano Natwar Singh hanno riavviato il delicato dialogo tra le due potenze nucleari nel contesto di una conferenza regionale tra ministri degli esteri tenutasi in Cina, nella citta' portuale di Qingdao. Da parte di entrambi e' stato rimarcato il tentativo di riscostruire un clima di fiducia dopo i disaccordi e le incomprensioni del passato, in particolare sul territorio del Kashmir. Tra le due potenze nucleari il disgelo era iniziato lo scorso anno con il dialogo tra il presidente pachistrano Pervez Musharraf e l'ex primo ministro indiano Atal Behari Vajpayee. Il ministro pachistano Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri ha dichiarato ad AFP di voler costruire un clima di fiducia e comprensione perche' " abbiamo grossi problemi da risolvere, senza affrontare i quali non e' possibile pensare ad una pace duratura nella regione ". I due ministri degli esteri proseguiranno i loro colloqui il 21 e 22 luglio nell'ambito del prossimo vertice regionale di Islamabad.
