"There will be obstacles and we have to be steadfast against all that they (militants) do," he said adding "that is why I say we should bold enough."
Since the beginning of terrorism in the valley it has been pakistan's government desire to absolve themselves from all actions of their state sponsored terrorists. Now that India has started this peace process without putting much emphasis on pakistan government's accountability for their support to the terrorists, therefore it will only exonerate their actions. And this is what musharraf states as if terrorists are distinct entities from the pakistan's government agencies like ISI. If Indian government choose to ignore pakistan's involvement without taking pragmatic stand for the sake of so-called peace dialog then the word PEACE doesn't signify anything.
He further says that:
"all shades of Kashmiris" should be taken on board except those who believe that militancy is the only option to resolve the issue.
I suppose all shades means those Hurriyat people who claim to be true representatives of people of J&K without any mandate. Anyways, his statement coincides or does it? with the statement of Mirwaiz, which he issued few days ago after returning from pakistan.
On other hand, BBC reports that musharraf has admitted that pakistan's border security forces have been letting the Taliban into Afghanistan!. American generals are frustrated enough with musharraf's brilliant game of duplicity of co-operation in the war against terror and perhaps the evidence from NATO, UK and afghan forces is too much to ignore, so much so that it made musharraf to acknowledge it publicly but with some spin.
After receiving millions of dollars in aid and military hardware from USA to fight
it would be difficult for two border guards on a typical check post on the Afghan border when they are faced with a group of "20 well-armed, well-trained and well-motivated people challenging them".
and goes further to complain that:
His country was being made "a scapegoat" for the resurgence of Taleban-led militants.
There we go, therefore let us not blame pakistan's government and ignore ISI activities in Quetta!.

every one is aware of this double standards of pakistan general but no one speaks in open don't you think even America must have knowledge about the same .
Priyank,
My point is...
If we absolve Pakistan from its state sponsored terrorism in our peace talks and put blame on terrorists instead of making their patronizers accountable, then imagine implications for us!. That is, not only we have to adhere our side of bargain for so-called peace but also suffer continuous violence.
i have always thought keeping myself in the other man's place and feel at some pt compromise will have to be made and may be at expense of ourself
but i do not justify my judgement and want to know if u have any better suggestions
That is nice priyank and i understand your compassion but One can't be magnanimous in making compromises over national issues just like Nehru did. My point is, in current peace process we distinguish Pakistan sponsored terrorists from Pakistan's government, which in reality these terrorists are just extension of Pakistan government and they are means to achieve their clandestine desire to grab Kashmir and form new states out of India. Even if both sides compromise and come to an understanding, then what is the use of this peace deal, which doesn't abate these terrorists from operating with the full support of Pakistan state?.
My suggestion is that we need to force them to take responsibility of terrorist actions and with this understanding, we can have any meaningful discussions to resolve the issue and if necessary compromises can be made by both sides.
