Prodigy, 21, about to become doctor
NEW DELHI, March 20 (UPI) -- India's national security adviser has rejected the idea of joint management with Pakistan of the disputed Kashmir region.
M.K. Narayanan said Sunday, "I must confess that the suggestions which are emanating from the other side are something that will not lead us very much forward," Pakistan News International reported. He was referring to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's recent proposal of joint management over the Muslim-majority Kashmir Valley.
Narayanan claimed that Pakistan-based militant groups are attacking religious targets in India and are instigating communal strife in order to hurt New Delhi. He also called the option of joint control an attempt to create a divide between the Muslim majority and Hindu minority communities.
Musharraf last month listed several options for a settlement -- making the whole area demilitarized and autonomous, putting it under the joint control of the two countries, or dividing some parts between the two countries.
India and Pakistan have embarked on a peace process to try to resolve all their outstanding differences, including those over Kashmir.
