Musharraf ready to talk to Vajpayee

Pak president rakes up Kashmir issue at OIC

PTI, Putrajaya
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf yesterday said he was ready to meet Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee "anytime, anywhere" but was not "dying" for it.
"You can't clap with one hand. I want to (have talks). You ask this question to your Prime Minister," Musharraf told PTI when asked if there would be an opportunity to have bilateral (Indo-Pak) talks during the SAARC Summit.
He, however, said "let me add one thing here. They should not think we are dying to meet them. We would like to meet them for mutual benefit".
Asked if he was ready to have Summit level talks with India, Musharraf, who is attending the OIC Summit in Putrajaya, said "Yes, of
course, any time. I have been saying so many times. Any time, anywhere".
He made it clear that any bilateral talks must include Kashmir.
Meanwhile, using the OIC platform, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf yesterday again raked up the Kashmir issue, saying the "plight" of the people of Jammu and Kashmir is a "core Islamic cause" and asserted that his country would never submit to Indian military "coercion or blackmail".
Addressing the summit of the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Conference in Putrajay, Musharraf stuck to his usual anti- India rhetoric and oft-repeated demand of right of "self- determination" for the people of J&K.
Contending that India's "confrontation with Pakistan is dangerous
and pointless", Musharraf said his country "will never submit to Indian military coercion or blackmail".
Seeking to draw parallels between the Kashmir and Palestinian issues, he said "the plight of the people of J&K is also a core Islamic cause.
"They are struggling-like the people of Palestine-for their right of self-determination recognised and promised to them in a series of Security Council resolutions."
Musharraf referred to his action plan for peace with India proposed by him at the UN General Assembly and said "unfortunately, India has rejected it".
The OIC, he said, "should ask India to reconsider its rejectionist and belligerent posture".
