'UN Kashmir resolution dead'
PTI
ISLAMABAD: Departing from Pakistan's long-held stand, the ruling party PML-Q has said that clinging to the 60 year-old UN resolution to resolve Kashmir issue would be a "hypocricy" and "wastage of time."
Bold decisions were required to resolve contentious issues and such an approach alone would ensure peace in south Asia, PML-Q president and former PM Shujaat Hussain told a group of senior editors and columnist briefing them on his recent visit to India heading a ten-member Parliamentary delegation.
Explaining Shujaat's view on Kashmir, party secretary Mushahid Hussain said the party chief believed that clinging to the 60-year old UNSC resolution would be wasting time.
"We must take realities into consideration and give up this politics of hypocrisy and put an end to rhetoric. Six decades have passed and the two sides have not moved an inch on the core issue of Kashmir," Mushahid said.
