Kashmir is unfinished agenda which hinders regional peace: Gen Raheel
149
ISLAMABAD: Army Chief General Raheel Sharif, while addressing a gathering at Royal United Services Institute in London, said that Kashmir is an unfinished agenda of Indo-Pak partition which needs to be resolved for the sake of peace and stability in the region.
According to details of the gathering shared by Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations Lt Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa on Twitter, the army chief said on Friday that “Indian intransigence and the violations at Line of Control are negatively affecting the region”.
Pakistan's security environment is becoming conducive for upward economic trajectory and the military will continue its efforts towards bringing total security in the country, General Raheel was quoted as saying.
Talking about the ongoing peace process in Afghanistan, the army chief said that Pakistan’s military and government supports enduring and permanent peace in Afghanistan.
General Raheel urged all the stakeholders to beware of the detractors and spoilers who intend to sabotage the reconciliation process between the two countries.
He went on to say that Pakistan holds brotherly ties with Afghanistan. “There is dire need of border management and international cooperation to make regional peace possible.”

Earlier, General Raheel Sharif had said on Thursday that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project would be a game-changer and usher in an era of prosperity in the region.
“We will do everything to make it a success,” he said during interactions at the International Institute for Strategic Studies and House of Commons in London.

I live in USA and many of my Indian friends told me Kashmiris and Indians are exactly the same people. I never argued with them but it was a bit shocking to hear that. As a Pakistani Pakhtun my unbiased opinion is that I do not see any similarities b/w an average Kashmiri and an average Indian or Pakistani. Why can't India and Pakistan let Kashmiris decide about their future?

The General states "...the military will continue its efforts towards bringing total security in the country". A good thought, but the question is why was it allowed to degenerate into an insecure country in the first place? Lack of a secure environment has been a primary cause for the poor economic state of the Pakistani nation. Assuming there is sincerity for development and it begins now, it will still be a generation or two before any change is visible. An insecure Pakistan has been the main reason for our region's instability since independence.

@WiseMan True Sir! Our Army is involved in many initiatives which is not the case in Democratic world. When two democratic nations engage they deal with each other through the set of norms and Institutional process. Paksitan is a Muslim state and democratic institutions are so weak that our responses are often one sided or not coherant with the expectations of democratic norms. I think this is a very big gap between the communication of Indo-Pak.

If everyone start talking about self-determination, we all will end of into a country with a single house hold. Partition of India was a big blunder in many ways as it did not solve any issue, problem continues in one way or another. So no point of dividing country further.

We need to work towards building positive relationship with all countries in south asia and make it a free trade zone. We almost waisted 70 years and there is no solution, growth and prosperity. The rich are getting richer and the poor remains poor generation after generation. The educated people prefer to live in west instead of using their education to develop our society.

General Raheel Sharif (COAS) has all the right to discuss and point out to the forums he has addressed to make them aware of what challenges and issues are faced by Pakistan on his own behalf and on behalf of the nation he serves as the Army's Chief.
Who knows better than Pakistan Army Chief the issues of terrorism in Pakistan, and its national interest. Pakistan COAS knows it's internal and external security issues that Pakistan faces. Kashmir is an outstanding issue between India and Pakistan that must be resolved at all cost to bring harmony between two nations.
Afghanistan is a party to all that is happening in the South Asia region. Afghanistan's role will be maximized due to mutual trade interests in creating brotherly relations between people of Afghanistan, India and Pakistan, when Kashmir issue is resolved between India and Pakistan. Peace will be established in the region only after Kashmir and other issues between India and Pakistan is resolved. Let the COAS prevail.

Why is this so difficult to understand???

As long as Pakistan military persists in keep alive the issue, the logic of predominance of the military in State discourse will find its way, and the basic issues of Pakistan citizens will remain in the back seat.
It would be more productive if state elites communicate that how the resolve of Kashmir will transform the life of ordinary Pakistan citizen. Additionally, your claims that impending issue of Kashmir causing instability in the region. Can you please elaborate what role Pakistan military has played so far to address it, except using proxy wars as a tool of statecraft.
In the end, for a sake of humanity and peace, I would like to say that playing a chess game with sitting at the top on the cost of ordinary people will help none.

@Abbas Syed You summed up correctly on Indo Pak tensions since 68 years. Every general,who takes charge in Pak,has to adopt aggressive stance on India through Kashmir,to justify their relevance and expenditure beyond accepted levels of GDP. Give credit to Nawaz. He made a sincere efforts in 1999/2000, mushraff upset the peace initiatives of Atal ji through is bus drive. Now,nawaj ji is remote controlled by general Sharif for all foreign affairs.

@Omar
The answer to your question "Why india continues to subjugate and occupy the poor Kashmiri" is very simple, now were India stands these day if they let go Kashmir then others like Sikh and other races will stand and fight for their independence.

at the time to end eng colonial raj,
following was decided to follow,
two states devided by majority population.
1.Pakistan for majority Muslims population areas or states,
2.India for majority Hindu polulation areas or states,
Kashmir was and is a majority Muslims state then and now.
the solution must be in that line,
700000 forign forces must Leave Kashmir.

Absolutely. Read the agreement between the Maharaja of J&K, UN resolution and Shimla agreement and vacate the Indian territory of Kashmir Occupied by Pakistan ,at the earliest. The unfinished agenda may become death nail for Pakistan sooner than later.

@Khan ....Indeed a great statement and it would enhance it more if military in both India and specially in Pakistan stay away from their personal interest...and think of this region...There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.At times i think...It's an intolerable abuse of power to have employees who are supposed to be advancing the public interest actually working on political campaigns.

The whole idea of a Muslim homeland was that the muslims of the subcontinent wanted to live in it. However only a third of the subcontinents muslim reside in Pakistan. In fact, more muslims live in India than Pakistan. Then why should Kashmir belong to Pakistan?
