Adopt bold policy vis-a vis Kashmir: Ausaf
The Ausaf Urdu daily advocates that the current government’s policy vis-a-vis Kashmir, be “bold”. The daily opines that “we believe that the only solution to the Kashmir problem is armed struggle but General Pervez Musharraf weakened the policy under US pressure.” The daily criticizes the present government for not taking enough measures towards resolving Kashmir issue and reiterates that it was the result of an arm struggle which brought India to the negotiating table in 2002. The daily say that when the armed struggle weakened and Musharraf did not pay heed to the advise and reservations of Syed Salahuddin, Chairman of the Muttahida Jihad Council, India strengthened its claws with the passage of time and is “now butchering Kashmiris mercilessly.” The paper in this context advises the government of Pakistan to adopt a bold policy towards Kashmir

Working Group’s recommendations, identical with UN resolution on Kashmir: Nawae Waqt
Following the submission of its report by the Working Group constituted by Pakistan on Kashmir suggesting Kashmir’s pre-1953 status be restored, the Nawa-e-Waqt Urdu daily in its editorial says that India should respect the recommendations by the working group. The daily says that the committee has suggested that the fate of article 370 should be decided by the people of Kashmir. The suggestion is identical with that of UN resolutions on Kashmir which grants them the right of self determination, says the daily. The paper suggests that after this recommendation by the working group, India should drop its oft repeated reiteration that “Kashmir is an integral part of India”. Pakistan will accept the outcome of a plebiscite by the Kashmiri people but if a solution is imposed by India or a third power at India’s behest, it will not be acceptable.
