I would suggest that both India and Pakistan allow the leaders of Kashmir from both sides to convene a conference and find a solution. Both countries should pledge to support both sides politically, economically and financialy in their endeavour to find the solution. Leaving aside the differences of Indian Muslim league and Indian congress party, Kashmir has been the source of enimosity between these two countries and could also become the source of friendship.
The mission should be to let the Kashmiri population go free of dominations by their non kashmiri neighbours. I have not seen Kashmir but it was regarded by the Moghuls as a paradise on earth. Perhaps the new millenium would end their sufferings!!

Kashmir solution is not possible as long as current attitude of Pakistan persists. Clearly they think PoK is their territory and they do not have any harm brewing voilence across the border. Whatever the pact was, I dont think it would lead to a solution in a long run unless current LoC is converted to International border. Other wasy of handling this problems will always be futile because of the militants, vested interests of politicians, and failure of the stakeholders to comply with the temporary agreements, etc.

these two countries have been taking since decades and have not been able to reach any agreement. these secret talks suggest that sanity has prevailed and most probably india has realised that it is paying a heavy prices in kashmir and outside kashmir by not solving the problem. Let us hope they pick up broken threads and start seriuts talks in kashmir and solve the issue and bring security in the whole region

This is a sell out, and we Kashmiris knew Pakistan will sell Kashmir for peanuts to India. That is what this deal was all about. All conscious Kashmiri should get together and start rasing vuioce against such kind of deal. Kashmiris should be party to any kind of such futre talks that is aimed at finding a solution to Kashmir problem.

The revelation made by Kasuri is a shocking news for the people of Kashmir. It means that both India and Pakistan had reached an agreement without taking into account the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Kasuri may have revealed that all separatist leaders except Geelani was on board but the common people don’t know anything about it. Such a deal is bound to fail. Sheikh Abdullah did a similar agreement with India without the approval of people and the consequence was a armed rebellion from the people of Kashmir that has taken its toll in the form of 100 thousand lives. India and Pakistan must understand that any agreement reached by them without considering the people of Jammu and Kashmir is bound to boomerang.

In my opinion this is the only viable solution to resolve kashmir issue. Time has come when both country’s should do something to stop the bloodshed. Already thousands of people have lost their lives in Kashmir.

It is hardly a secret that some sort of an agreement was reached at on Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) between India and Pakistan during the Musharraf era. But what was not quite known was the nature of what was actually agreement on. And who was party to the accord.

But there are some other fascinatingly chilling points in Mr. Kasuri’s account of this secret accord as well. He has taken a kind of responsibility for advising President Musharraf against inviting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and making the plan public. The reason given by Mr. Kasuri is that his country’s political environment at that time was too chaotic to make such a plan public. Firstly, the opposition � which was already on the roll against Musharraf – would have taken the accord as a sell-out to India. Secondly, President Musharraf was increasingly losing ground to the lawyers’ movement.
